Divorce and relationship breakdown is stressful. It is also a time of huge upheaval and uncertainty for you and those closest to you.
We have a proven track record of handling complex family law issues with sensitivity and compassion, quietly and efficiently. We will fight your corner but we will do so with respect and consideration for your family. We will listen to you and we will advise you as to the likely outcome, whatever the issue, at the earliest stage possible.
We will not lock horns with other lawyers for the sake of it. Similarly, we will not embroil you in stressful court battles or pick fights unless there is no other way to achieve a fair result for you.
Our family group act for a diverse range of clients from A-list celebrities, start-up entrepreneurs, sole traders to individuals within the world of finance. Whatever the background of the client we are respected within the profession for resolving matters quickly and discreetly.
When needed we are also able to work with our Private Client team and Reputation Protection team to ensure you have maximum support every step of the way.
We can advise you on:
- Divorce
- Financial claims on divorce
- Advice to cohabitees and unmarried couples
- Property disputes between cohabitees
- Financial claims on behalf of children (maintenance, school fees and capital provision)
- Contested wills or provision from estates on death
- Care arrangements for children
