What the Team is Known For

The team at Thorntons Law handles a broad range of family law matters from its offices in Dundee and Edinburgh. It has a solid reputation for local sheriff court work and is well versed in mediation and arbitration, with particular prowess in complex child access and finance cases. Lawyers within the group are adept at handling matters as varied as cohabitation claims, international child relocations and surrogacy cases. They also collaborate closely with the firm's other departments such as immigration, corporate and property to provide a comprehensive service.

Strengths

Their care and compassion were extremely calming and comforting during a very difficult time. I felt confident in their ability and reassured about the situation.

Thortons provides excellent service and we usually receive exceptionally fast responses to any of our requests or queries.

Notable practitioners

Lucy Metcalf is Edinburgh-based and focuses her practice on high-value matrimonial finance cases. She also assists with child contact disputes and surrogacy arrangements and is adept at handling matters through traditional litigation as well as ADR proceedings.
 

She is a very pragmatic person who will focus on solutions, rather than focusing on other problems.

 

Lucy is measured, has a high level of drafting skills and her pragmatic approach gets good results for clients.

 

Through her wealth of experience and non-confrontational, highly efficient solution-focused approach, Lucy has represented our family’s interests extremely effectively.

Sandra Sutherland in Dundee advises on the full spectrum of family law, ranging from divorces and cohabitation claims to complex matters concerning child contact arrangements and domestic abuse allegations.
 

Sandra was business-like and confident in her approach. She outlined alternative courses of action and advised.

 

I can only commend Sandra on her knowledge and experience but also in understanding the situation with great empathy for me.
