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.

Civil Partnerships

The Civil Partnership Act has had a life-changing impact for same sex couples who want to make a public statement about their relationship and commitment to each other.

Our team at Covent Garden Family Law can give you experienced and effective advice on all aspects of civil partnerships, from pre-registration agreements, the financial implications of entering into a civil partnership and the financial implications of ending a civil partnership by dissolution.

Our specialist lawyers can also give you advice on the law as it affects same sex couples bringing up children conceived by arrangement with a donor, through a clinic or children from a previous relationship.

If you have further enquiries please email Haema Sundram or Alison Burt
