Our Services

We offer a wide range of legal services to meet the diverse needs of our clients, including:

• Divorce & Dissolution: Going through a divorce or dissolution can be a significant life change, emotionally and practically. Our team guides you through the legal process, ensuring your rights are protected and that a fair settlement is reached. We handle all aspects, including property division, spousal maintenance, and child custody arrangements.

• Cohabitation Rights:

Unmarried couples have specific legal rights regarding their finances and property. We provide clear and concise advice on these rights and help resolve disputes arising from the breakdown of a cohabiting relationship.

• Financial Provision: Our solicitors specialise in complex financial arrangements post-separation, whether through divorce or dissolution. We work to ensure a fair and equitable distribution of assets, considering factors such as income, earning capacity, and the duration of the relationship.

• Children's Issues: The wellbeing of children is paramount in any family dispute. We work tirelessly to secure the best possible outcomes for children, considering their needs and fostering a harmonious family environment. Our services encompass custody arrangements, child maintenance, and access rights.

If you are experiencing domestic abuse, our team is here to help. We offer support and guidance on obtaining protection orders, securing refuge, and ensuring your safety and that of your children.

• Wills & Probate: We understand the importance of ensuring your legacy is protected. Our solicitors will help you create a comprehensive will that reflects your wishes, outlining the distribution of your assets and the care of your loved ones. We also guide you through the often complex process of probate, seeking to ensure a smooth and efficient transfer of your estate.
