Services
Divorce & Dissolution
We handle divorce and civil partnership dissolution cases based on irretrievable breakdown. Our expertise includes contested proceedings, financial settlements, and child arrangements. We guide clients through eligibility requirements, court processes, and cross-border complexities. Our approach balances negotiation with robust litigation preparation to achieve fair outcomes.
Financial Disputes
Specialising in high-net-worth cases, we resolve financial disputes involving business interests, offshore assets, and inheritance. Our lawyer-accountant team conducts forensic analysis to ensure equitable asset division while considering long-term needs like health and child support. We prioritise negotiated settlements but litigate when necessary.
Expatriate Divorce
We represent clients in cross-border divorce cases, addressing jurisdiction challenges, asset division across jurisdictions, and child custody issues. Our global experience covers cases involving the US, Philippines, Europe, and Africa, ensuring compliance with international legal frameworks and local court requirements.
Prenuptial Contracts
We draft and review prenuptial and postnuptial agreements to protect assets and clarify financial responsibilities. Our agreements meet legal standards for enforceability, requiring full disclosure, fairness, and preparation at least one month before marriage to ensure validity.
Cohabitation Disputes
We resolve property and financial disputes for cohabiting couples under Trusts of Land legislation. Our advice covers property claims, child maintenance, and capital provision under the Children Act, ensuring fair outcomes for clients without automatic legal protections afforded to married couples.
