Family & Matrimonial

When a relationship breaks down difficult issues have to be faced and decisions reached.

Our very experienced Family team can advise you and act on your behalf to ensure that you get a fair financial outcome as well as supporting you to make future arrangements for you and your children. We recognise the need to deal with a whole range of different family disputes in a constructive, pragmatic and sensitive way and our team of exceptional lawyers will work alongside you to achieve this.

Our difference is the technical ability and determination we harness coupled with the attentive, personal service we give to each of our clients.

Our approach can differ depending on the particular facts and the personalities involved with each individual case. We deliver commercial, objective, realistic and practical advice to enable our clients to make the right decision. We can negotiate, litigate and collaborate and will help you choose the best option for you.

We advise all families although particularly those with complex financial structures.  Many of our cases have an international aspect involving either clients based out of the jurisdiction or those who own property abroad. With regular experience in advising these clients we have a clear advantage in being able to advise properly on the issues which can flow from this be they considerations such as taxation and the best forum to resolve your financial claims or in relation to the arrangements for your children.

If you are thinking of getting married, entering into a civil partnership or living together we can help you decide whether you might benefit from entering into a formal agreement regulating what should happen during that relationship, or in the unfortunate event that it should come to an end.

Our team are members of Resolution, the specialist professional organisation whose members are recognised for their constructive approach to family breakdown. We are a full service law firm, so our colleagues can help you throughout the case and after it by dealing with your conveyancing, wills, taxation and trusts issues. If you own a company, our commercial team can provide all the advice that you will need.

There are a number of different issues on which we can advise which include amongst other things divorce and relationship breakdown (including civil partners and unmarried couples), arrangements for children, financial arrangements, pre-nuptial and post-nuptial agreements and Collaborative law.

  • Separation
