Family Law, Children and Divorce

Overview

Protecting your rights, children and finances through times of significant change is our focus. Family law demands expert legal advice and sensitive strategic representation and our family team is right by your side.

We take a straightforward and family-focused approach that is designed to keep conflict and stress to an absolute minimum. You get clear, cost-effective guidance from a team prepared to fight your corner vigorously when necessary

We also help individuals going through a difficult relationship breakdown, navigating a dispute over children or assets. If you are looking to protect yourself before starting a new relationship, you need clear-headed, expert support. You will be looked after by a dedicated team of family law specialists. Because this area of family law often intersects with business and wealth, you benefit from our joined-up service with commercial and private client specialists. We work alongside our specialist colleagues to navigate high net worth complexities and secure a fair settlement.

How we can help

  • Complex financial resolutions
  • Child arrangements
  • Cohabitation agreements
  • Pre-nuptial and Post-nuptial agreements

The Family team is ranked by Legal 500 UK as "one of the best in the region." Every lawyer on your side is a member of Resolution which means they are committed to fair, constructive settlements that minimise conflict and protects your children's welfare.
