Services
Divorce Proceedings
We guide clients through divorce and civil partnership dissolution, addressing financial settlements, property division, and child custody arrangements. Our solicitors specialise in complex cases involving international assets, business interests, and inheritance matters. With Resolution accreditation, we prioritise amicable solutions while preparing robust court representation when necessary.
Child Arrangements
Our child law specialists help families establish living arrangements, visitation schedules, and decision-making responsibilities. We handle domestic and international relocation cases, surrogacy agreements, and maintenance calculations. Our approach focuses on children's best interests while protecting parental rights through mediation or litigation.
Mediation Services
As accredited mediators, we facilitate constructive discussions between separating couples to reach mutually acceptable agreements. This cost-effective alternative to court addresses financial matters, child arrangements, and cohabitation disputes while maintaining family relationships and reducing emotional strain.
Prenuptial Agreements
We draft and review prenuptial and postnuptial agreements to protect assets and clarify financial responsibilities. Our solicitors ensure legal compliance while tailoring arrangements to clients' specific circumstances, providing clarity and security for future marital or civil partnership arrangements.
Collaborative Law
Our Resolution-trained collaborative lawyers work with clients to resolve disputes through structured negotiations without court intervention. This approach maintains privacy, reduces conflict, and allows couples to create customised solutions for financial settlements and child-related matters.
