Our family law team can provide advice on:
- Divorce/dissolution of civil partnerships
- Financial settlements
- Separation agreements
- Cohabitee disputes
- Disputes in relation to children
- Pre and post marital agreements / civil partnership agreements.
We are specialists in the financial aspects of divorce, dissolution and separation and are regularly instructed to deal with cases involving owner-managed family businesses, complex trust and tax issues, significant pension assets and international elements.
All of the team practice exclusively in family law and all are members of Resolution (formerly the Solicitors Family Law Association), a national organisation of family lawyers (www.resolution.org.uk). The team are committed to the Resolution Code of Practice, which promotes the settlement of family disputes in a conciliatory and constructive manner. We offer alternatives to the traditional court process such as collaborative law and the early settlement of disputes by way of negotiated out-of-court arrangements. If the court process is unavoidable, we have strong advocacy skills and regularly represent clients at hearings in the county courts. We also benefit from strong relationships with both local and national family law barristers, should their input and experience be required, ensuring a real ‘team approach’ can be brought to any case.
We have established strong relationships with other professionals such as accountants, financial advisors and, where appropriate, counsellors so as to offer a complete and comprehensive service to all our clients.
We guarantee that your case will be treated with the utmost sensitivity and discretion at all times. We will keep you informed as to progress of your case and will provide a realistic estimate of the likely timescale and costs involved from the outset.
