Our Services
Divorce and separation law
Whether ending a marriage or civil partnership, we guide you through the legal process with care and sensitivity. We support all aspects of separation, including financial settlements and child arrangements.
For those seeking an amicable split, our approach offers a collaborative path forward.
We also possess extensive experience in high-net-worth cases involving complex assets, ensuring your interests are protected through strategic negotiation or firm representation as the situation demands.
Child law and special guardianship
Your children’s best interests will always be at the heart of our work. We advise on arrangements, relocation, and parental responsibility.
We also offer specialist support for Special Guardianship Orders. These provide an important legal route for relatives or friends to provide children with a stable, permanent home.
Whether you are dealing with maintenance or thinking about long-term parenting plans, our goal is to ensure a secure environment for your children while protecting your legal rights as a caregiver.
Financial settlements and asset protection
Sorting out finances when a relationship breaks down requires strategic advice. This is particularly important when it comes to issues like pension sharing, trusts, and business interests. We work carefully to ensure a fair division of assets, helping you navigate the complexities of joint property and shared wealth.
If you are concerned that a partner is not acting fairly, we can assist with emergency applications to freeze assets. This provides the immediate legal intervention necessary to protect your financial position and long-term stability.
Domestic abuse and injunctions
If you or a loved one is experiencing physical, emotional, or financial abuse, your safety is our absolute priority. We will work as quickly as we can to help you obtain emergency court orders, such as non-molestation or occupation orders, to prevent further harm.
Our team offers a secure environment to discuss your situation and implement long-term protection measures. We can liaise with authorities to ensure you and your family can move forward in peace and safety.
Unmarried couples and cohabitation
Unmarried couples do not share the same rights as spouses. We want to make sure that you understand where you stand and what you need to do to protect yourself. We advise on cohabitation agreements to define property ownership and financial expectations during your relationship. If a breakdown occurs, we guide you through property disputes and financial claims involving children.
Our expertise helps you navigate these often-overlooked legal areas, ensuring your rights are protected and helping you plan a secure future for you and your dependents.
Pre-nuptial and post-nuptial agreements
Whether you are aiming to protect your wealth or wish to clarify financial arrangements, our lawyers provide the necessary framework to avoid future disputes. We take the stress out of the process by offering creative solutions that acknowledge the importance of your relationship while ensuring legal clarity.
By formalising these agreements early, you can protect inherited wealth or business assets, providing both parties with peace of mind and a clear understanding of the path ahead.
Mediation and out-of-court solutions
Our mediation services offer a constructive, child-focused alternative to the adversarial nature of court proceedings. We guide you through mediation and facilitate discussions regarding both finances and parenting.
By working closely with other professionals, we help families find bespoke, out-of-court solutions that minimise conflict and emotional strain. This collaborative approach allows you to maintain control over the outcome while fostering more positive long-term family relationships.
