Family

As family lawyers we deal with more than just divorce.

We understand that the breakdown of a relationship is different for every person and can be a testing time. We recognise that it is important to have the advice and support you need to get your life back on track. If you have made the decision to separate or divorce, thinking about legal issues concerning your children and the financial aspects can feel overwhelming. We specialise in guiding people like you through the process of separation.

We are very experienced in dealing with wealth preservation by the preparation of agreements for cohabiting couples and pre-nuptial and post-nuptial agreements.
