Services
Divorce
We provide comprehensive legal support for divorce proceedings, specialising in no-fault divorces and complex financial settlements. Our team handles cases involving high-value assets, international jurisdictions, and contentious custody arrangements. With expertise in both mediation and litigation, we guide clients through the emotional and financial challenges of marital dissolution while protecting their interests and those of any children involved.
Financial Settlements
Our specialists manage financial settlements for divorcing couples, including cases involving hidden assets, business valuations, and cross-border property portfolios. We excel in uncovering dissipated assets and negotiating fair distributions while considering factors like prenuptial agreements, spousal maintenance, and child support requirements. Our track record includes resolving multi-million-pound cases through strategic negotiation and court representation.
Domestic Abuse
We offer urgent legal protection for domestic abuse victims through non-molestation and occupation orders. Our team provides same-day court applications when necessary, combining compassionate support with robust legal action. We handle complex cases involving financial abuse, international elements, and long-term safety planning while maintaining strict confidentiality and client support throughout proceedings.
Child Custody
Specialising in child arrangement orders and abduction cases, we prioritise children's welfare in custody disputes. Our services include emergency interventions for international abductions, relocation disputes, and specific issue orders regarding education or medical treatment. We work closely with social services and international legal networks to secure optimal outcomes for families across jurisdictions.
Prenuptial Agreements
We draft and review prenuptial agreements that protect assets while considering evolving legal standards. Our advice covers financial disclosure requirements, independent legal counsel verification, and fairness assessments to ensure enforceability. We guide clients through post-nuptial agreements and help enforce or challenge existing agreements during divorce proceedings.
