Our family law and divorce lawyers are recognised nationally and internationally for providing expert advice on high-value and complex financial settlements on divorce and other relationship breakdowns.
We take a practical, solution driven and sensitive approach to resolving issues, with litigation as a last resort.
If you need a divorce lawyer who can handle complex financial settlements and child arrangements, our team is here to help. As well as settlements, our divorce solicitors are also very experienced in negotiating pre and post-nuptial agreements to protect assets, both where England and Wales is the only jurisdiction and where the parties have international issues to consider.
We also have considerable experience in successfully resolving disputes concerning child arrangements and cross-border relocations.
Whether acting for high and ultra-high-net-worth individuals or advising on divorces with complex assets – such as trusts, corporate structures, partnerships, pensions, farming businesses, or international factors – we provide clear advice and an exceptional service.
We work closely with our colleagues who specialise in tax and trusts, corporate, real estate and employment, to provide the full scope of expertise required by our clients.
Our family lawyers are all members of Resolution, a national family law group dedicated to cooperative and effective dispute resolution.
