Family law
Our family law legal services »
Whether you are embarking on or ending a marriage, civil partnership or cohabition, it is a time when life-changing decisions for you and your family need to be made.
At the outset of a relationship, we draft and advise on pre-nuptial, pre-civil partnership or cohabitation agreements to set out what you agree about your responsibilities and obligations towards each other.
If the relationship breaks down, we will guide you through the legal and financial issues, including maintenance, division of capital, pensions and business interests. This may include assets held abroad or in trust.
Where children are involved, we can help you with decisions about their care and also the financial arrangements for them.
We regard litigation through the courts as a last resort. Where possible, we endeavour to achieve a resolution through negotiation to include, where appropriate, meetings with your former partner and their solicitor.
