No family is the same, and no family problem identical.

Our solicitors are experienced tacticians and negotiators who make sure they understand exactly what your situation is and how you would like it to change.

Whether it is a separation or divorce from a spouse or partner, an incident of domestic violence, or putting in place arrangements for child contact, we are expertly placed to advise on your rights and to help bring about the best solution.

Our fixed fee divorce packages are just £300+VAT | Find out more

Our lawyers believe in getting you the right result as quickly, inexpensively and amicably as possible. We have solicitors who are members of Resolution, a family law association which promotes a non-confrontational approach to resolving family problems. Firmly on your side, resolute in our support for you, we will guide you through the process making sure you understand what is happening every step of the way.

It is not all about fixing problems, however. It is also about preventing them happening at all. We prepare pre-nuptial agreements and cohabitation agreements which aim to get all parties’ positions carefully laid out at an early stage in the relationship, reducing the risk of disputes later on. Read our 5 top tips for newly engaged couples.
