Collaborative Family Law

Our aim is to give you the advice which will allow you to make the best possible decisions about your family and the future.

Our approach is to seek agreement wherever that is possible, using court proceedings only as a last resort and never for their own sake. Where it is necessary to litigate, we will represent you with care and vigour.

We will give you sensible and sensitive advice; where we feel that you would be best served by an expert from another discipline, as well as or instead of a lawyer, we can help you identify that person.

We are committed, discreet and professional.

Cohabitation & Divorce

Pre-nuptial Agreements

If you intend to marry or enter into a civil partnership, we can advise you about the benefits of a pre-nuptial agreement or a pre-registration agreement to set out how you envisage assets would be dealt with in the event of a subsequent separation.

Contrary to popular understanding, there are no "automatic" rights created by living together. On separation, you may find that issues relating to your children, home, finances and child maintenance arise.

Every family is different and we will work with you to find a solution which is tailored to the needs of your family and fair to all those involved. We can give you experienced and realistic advice so that you will know what to expect and so that the time taken to find a solution and the legal costs involved are minimised.
