Services
Separation & Divorce
Our specialist solicitors guide clients through separation and divorce proceedings with empathy and legal precision. We address financial settlements, asset division, and emotional challenges while prioritising fair outcomes. With experience in complex cases involving businesses, inheritances, and same-sex partnerships, we offer reduced-rate initial consultations to discuss tailored solutions for your circumstances.
Mediation Services
As Law Society-accredited mediators, we help couples resolve disputes amicably through structured negotiations. Our process avoids court delays, reduces costs, and maintains confidentiality. We specialise in financial settlements, child arrangements, and post-divorce modifications, ensuring both parties' needs are balanced while protecting family interests.
Child Law
Accredited child law specialists handle residence, contact, and parental rights issues with sensitivity to children's needs. We represent clients in court proceedings, draft parental agreements, and advise on social work involvement. Our approach combines legal expertise with child psychology insights to achieve outcomes prioritising children's welfare during family transitions.
Cohabitation Agreements
We draft legally binding agreements protecting assets for unmarried couples purchasing property or managing shared finances. Our agreements address inheritance concerns, business interests, and child-related provisions. By clarifying rights and responsibilities, these documents provide security while avoiding future disputes over asset division should relationships end.
Power of Attorney
Our solicitors create tailored Power of Attorney arrangements for financial and welfare decisions. We explain differences between standard and continuing powers, and assist with court-appointed guardianship applications. By documenting your preferences in advance, we ensure trusted representatives can manage your affairs if you lose capacity, avoiding costly legal interventions later.
