Family Law

Our family law team has a deservedly high reputation for its work in an area which demands the greatest sensitivity and understanding.

Our team combines wide-ranging expertise with a depth of experience which comes from many years as an industry leader. We have played a leading role in some of the country’s highest-profile cases.

But family issues are often not confined by national borders. We have experience in dealing with international cases involving conflicts of culture and competing legal systems.

The interests of our clients are paramount. Whether an issue involves divorce, separation, adoption or internal family disputes we appreciate that clients may well be enduring emotionally-testing times.

Our aim is to see the bigger picture and, if possible, settle issues amicably. This is not always appropriate and sometimes, especially if there is threat of personal harm to a child, the only option is fast and decisive action using every means available in the legal system.

Clients come to us for our expertise in many areas, from pre-nuptial agreements to issues over cohabitation, and the breakdown of civil partnerships and marriages.

We go through all the options, from negotiation to litigation to decide what is best and we are keenly aware that our clients may be under financial pressure.

But whatever the circumstances we are confident that our team provides clients with the best and most practical solutions.
