The Laurus Family team is recognised for its expertise across the full spectrum of family and children law, with particular strength in high-value financial remedy work, private children matters, and cases involving complex international elements. The department regularly advises high-net-worth individuals, entrepreneurs, professionals, and public figures, often in matters that are high-conflict, reputationally sensitive, or emotionally complex.
Known for its strategic and empathetic approach, the team frequently handles cases involving business interests, trust structures, cross-border divorce, child abduction, and international elements. The department is also highly experienced in advising on pre- and post-nuptial agreements, cohabitation disputes, and children cases involving relocation or allegations of domestic abuse, including those requiring fact-finding hearings.
Laurus places strong emphasis on alternative dispute resolution. The team includes two Family Mediation Council–accredited mediators, collaborative lawyers, and maintains active membership of Resolution, the Family Mediation Council, and other key professional bodies. This depth of experience enables the firm to resolve many matters outside of court where appropriate, while remaining a formidable presence in litigation when needed.

He has a real skill in that he does everything with a smile, which distracts opponents from the fact he is a fantastic lawyer. His manner is effectively disarming.

Steven has really impeccable judgement, but puts on a fight when he needs to.
