Family Law Experts

Helping you navigate life’s most important decisions with confidence and compassion.

Support for every chapter of your family journey

Family law is about more than divorce. We’re here to help you protect what matters most, at every stage of your life. We aim for the best outcome for you, your family and especially your children. 

From the beginning, we can advise on asset and wealth protection through pre-nuptial and post-nuptial agreements, as well as cohabitation and living together agreements.

If your relationship breaks down, we understand how overwhelming that can feel. Our role is to provide clear, practical advice and the support you need to move forward in the best way for you and your family.

We specialise in guiding clients through separation with a strategic yet sensitive approach. Our family law team is experienced in handling complex issues including trusts, business assets and international matters.

"Freeths family team is distinguished by its client-focused and comprehensive approach to family law, offering a seamless blend of legal expertise and compassionate support."
