Family Law

When a relationship breaks down, emotions can run high and disputes often spiral out of control. When you need to move forward, we’re here to help. We’re one of the UK’s biggest and most experienced family law teams, and can advise on issues affecting every kind of family – including divorce, matters involving children, wealth protection and international family law.

What will happen?

To start, we take the time to get to know you and understand the nature of your problem. From here, we’ll work out a tailored plan to help guide you through the process with as little additional stress as we can.

How long will it take?

On average, most relationship issues are resolved within six months. If fully contested court proceedings are necessary, it will take between 6 and 12 months. It will always vary depending on the nature of each case, but we’ll give you a realistic timeframe as soon as possible.

How much will it cost?

When we start working with you, we’ll give you a clear cost estimate from the outset, and keep you updated throughout your case. We offer a fixed fee service for divorces, but the cost for other cases may vary depending on their complexities. If cash flow is a problem, we can connect you to a number of leading litigation funders.

KEY CONTACTS

Our Experience

Our highly trained team of specialists cover every aspect of family law, and will take the time to understand your needs and explain what it all means. Every day, we handle complex cases that require a careful, experienced hand, and are committed to finding a fair and reasonable outcome.

Where we can, we try and avoid stressful and costly court proceedings – many members of our team are trained mediators and experts at alternative dispute resolution. However, if it comes down to court, we’ll represent you and support you every step of the way.

Our Clients

We help people from all walks of life, from housewives and teachers to company directors and footballers, and have close ties to the police, armed services and NHS. We’re experienced in cases with complex financial arrangements and have acted on a number of high-profile cases.

We know that relationship issues are often urgent, and if you’re unlucky enough to have a relationship issue, you need firm, decisive action. That’s why we’re available day and night by phone for emergencies, and will do everything we can to reach a resolution that’s fair and ensures your best interests are protected.

Relationships & Family Law
Testimonial

Andrew has handled two sensitive and personal legal matters for me, and impressed me on both occasions with following qualities:

He was thoughtful, thorough and pragmatic in his analysis of the issues raised, their relevant details, and in his responses to the issues.

He listened carefully to my questions and comments, and responded quickly and clearly with analysis and advice aimed directly at the issues.

Andrew had a calming influence when dealing with very stressful and personal issues, during the meetings and court attendances we had when dealing with both elements of the case.

On both occasions, Andrew delivered a successful result.

I would use Andrew again, and recommend his services to anyone who required them.
