This is achieved by entering into round-table negotiations and mediation.
We understand that when you come to see us about a child arrangement, divorce, or other family law matters, you may be under significant emotional pressure. When you instruct our family law solicitors, you will quickly be reassured, not only by their sensitive, compassionate manner but also by how they focus on reaching long-term, workable solutions. We will also help you manage any conflict with your partner or other family members and ensure that the needs of any children are kept at the forefront of any conflict resolution.
If attending court is the only way to resolve your family law dispute, we will robustly represent you in court. Our family law team has developed strong relationships with some of London’s top family law barristers who can appear in court on your behalf. We will ensure that you are kept informed throughout the proceedings and are flexible in our responses to allow for the rapid change in circumstances that can often occur in family law cases.
Our Family Law Services
We provide advice and representation on the following family law matters:
Children and Childcare Arrangements
Arrangements require expert, caring legal advice from a good family lawyer who understands the processes involved. We can assist you with reaching an agreement regarding which parent your children will live with and visiting rights for the non-custodial parent in a non-confrontational manner, using alternative dispute resolution methods such as mediation.
Cohabitation and Unmarried Family
Cohabitating couples do not enjoy the same legal protection as those who are married or in a civil partnership. Our London-based family lawyers can advise you on your legal rights if your cohabited relationship breaks down and advise on and draft comprehensive cohabitation agreements.
Divorce and Separation
Divorce and legal separation are harrowing events to go through. Our family law solicitors, based in central London, will work with you throughout the divorce or separation process, helping you make clear, pragmatic decisions about your financial future and arrangements for your children. Our aim is to ensure your best interests are protected and provide you with the tools to work out arrangements for apportioning your property and assets and making arrangements for your children outside of the courtroom.
Dissolution of Civil Partnership
If your civil partnership has ended, our family law solicitors can provide you with sensitive, pragmatic advice on dissolving your civil partnership, reaching a financial settlement and making arrangements for your children.
Financial Dispute on Divorce
We have an abundance of expertise in negotiating financial settlements in divorce and separation cases. Our family law solicitors also manage high-net-worth divorce cases and can instruct forensic accountants and wealth management advisors when required, to support you when making your settlement claim.
Family Mediation and Alternative Dispute Resolution
It has long been a policy of the English family law system to encourage couples and families to settle disputes outside of the courtroom. It has been proven that by allowing families to take control and work out arrangements between themselves, the solutions they reach are more likely to last long-term.
We can support and advise you on all types of alternative dispute resolution methods, including guiding you through how methods such as Mediation Information & Assessment Meetings (MIAMs) work.
Injunction and Emergency Remedies
If you are a victim of domestic violence and/or abuse, the safety of you and your children is our first priority. We can act swiftly to obtain a non-molestation order and/or an occupation order and provide advice on accessing community support so you can protect yourselves from harm.
Pre-Nuptial and Post Nuptial Agreements
Pre-nuptial and post-nuptial agreements can carry a lot of weight Our family law solicitors can draft pre and post-nuptial agreements for you. If you have been asked to sign a pre or post-nuptial agreement, we can provide practical guidance on its implications for your future.
Declaration of Trust
A declaration of trust is an important document in which ‘trustees’ are appointed to hold property for ‘beneficiaries.’ We can draft a bespoke Declaration of Trust and advise trustees on their responsibilities, including the overriding duty to act in the best interests of the beneficiaries.
