About

Provided by Stevens & Bolton LLP

Our family team advises on all aspects of relationship breakdown including divorce, separation, resolving consequent financial claims and issues relating to children and claims under the Inheritance Act.

We have in-depth understanding and experience of complex financial structures involving trusts, tax and corporate affairs, including those with an international dimension, enabling us to provide an innovative and constructive approach to deliver an effective outcome.

We provide a sensitive and pragmatic approach to dealing with all children matters. Our care and skill in this area has assisted families to deal with arrangements over residence and contact, medical and education issues as well as international relocation cases.

We frequently advise on pre and post nuptial agreements, integrating that advice with wealth management strategies; complex assets including corporate, offshore assets, trusts, share schemes and complex investment vehicles; and asset tracing.

What really sets us apart is our care, attention and empathy with clients allowing you to feel in control of the process, whilst being thoroughly supported.

The team offers alternative dispute resolution with both collaborative lawyers and mediators. We also deliver a "One solicitor, one couple" model to advise a couple together, when advantageous to both parties.

We act for a diverse client base including international entrepreneurs, city professionals and members of the sports and entertainment industries.
