When a relationship breaks down, thinking about the future for your family and finances is distressing. You might also have to work with lawyers for the first time, which can feel daunting.
With a number of options available to you, it is helpful to have legal support to guide you through the implications of these choices. Having this clarity will help you make practical decisions that suit you and your family, both now and in the long-term.
Our specialist lawyers will work closely with you to understand your situation and what is most important to you. This approach allows them to act as a support for you. They will guide you through the entire process and explain how to protect your best interests.
At such a stressful time, it is comforting to know that our lawyers will manage the negotiations to reduce your exposure to conflict wherever possible. Our aim is to prevent your case from reaching court, and we may refer you to mediation or represent you in round-the-table negotiations, known as collaborative law, to resolve your settlement quickly and efficiently.
As well as guiding you through the processes and paperwork, we will provide you with pragmatic advice about timings to ease the stress for yourself and your family, particularly if children are involved. You may also be under a lot of financial pressure, so we strive to keep your fees to a minimum and follow a transparent fee structure to give you clarity on your legal costs.
