Our understanding and level-headed approach

Divorce is a diffucult and stressful time, but having a good lawyer can help to ease the situation.  We will handle your divorce sensitively and efficiently. 

We tailor our service

We will tailor our advice to your specific circumstances, and can offer as much or as little advice and assistance as you need.  We hope our sympathetic and practical approach will help you cope at a difficult time, and to minimise your stress. 

We understand that some people may wish to conduct their proceedings on their own but might require our advice and assistance as and when required. This is a service we are able to offer.

We listen

We will listen to your needs and expectations.  We will ensure that you are given practical and realistic advice. 

We are always mindful of costs

At your initial meeting we can provide some information on costs, and our fixed fees.  When you formally instruct us we will write to you with a costs estimate tailored to the individual circumstances of your case. Then as your case progresses we provide you with regular costs information to keep you informed as to the level of costs you are incurring and are likely to incur in the future. 

We offer a fixed fee divorce service for most uncontested divorces.  In cases where we do not offer fixed fees, we will keep your costs to a minimum.  We will do this by:

• Keeping you informed of the work required and the likely cost of this work
• Asking for payments on account of the fees likely to be incurred and billing you on a monthly basis.  This will avoid you receiving a large bill at the end of the matter.   
• Advising you when there is preparatory work which you could carry out, if you are willing to do so, to save us carrying it out and charging you for this.

We are here for you

There is no specific legislation that deals with disputes between unmarried couples, and these disputes can therefore be more difficult and costly to resolve.

What can we do?

We can offer a service specifically designed to help unmarried couples resolve disputes. 

To prevent a dispute

Disputes between unmarried couples often revolve around jointly owned property.  It is important to obtain clear legal advice on property ownership before you enter into the joint ownership of property. 

Unmarried couples who own property together are treated completely differently to married couples who own property together.  In a relationship breakdown unmarried couples can often be at a disadvantage. 

We can advise you at all stages of your relationship to ensure that your rights are protected and your obligations are considered.  In particular we can offer the following:

• Declaration of trust setting out details of property ownership to protect you in the event of a relationship breakdown
• Cohabitation agreement setting out details of who is to be responsible for payment of the mortgage, bills, maintenance and repairs, and on what basis, as well as what would happen in the event of a relationship breakdown.
• Pre-nuptial and post-nuptial agreements.

What if there's a dispute?

If there is a dispute, we will advise you on your legal rights both in terms of your right of occupation and your share of the sale proceeds.

We will give you practical advice on all aspects of relationship breakdown and realistic outcomes, together with advice on the quickest and most efficient way of resolving the dispute. 

If agreement cannot be reached through negotiation, we can protect your interest by making an application to court.  We will provide you with advice and assistance throughhout the process. 

Getting in touch

For a confidential no-obligation consultation please contact us.  We offer a free 30 minute initial consultation.  Out of hours or telephone consultations are offered by prior arrangement.



We can advise and assist you with your financial settlement whether you have a modest amount of assets, or significant high value assets.  We want to help you get on with your life, and will help you to resolve your financial issues as quickly and painlessly as possible.

We tailor our service to suit you

Our advice and assistance is tailored to your particular circumstances, and your needs and expectations. 

We understand that some people may wish to conduct their proceedings on their own but might require our advice and assistance as and when required. This is a service we are able to offer. 

You might have reached an agreement with your ex-partner through mediation or through discussions direct with them, which you wish us to implement.  We can implement this agreement for you and, if you wish, we can advise you on whether we believe it is a fair agreement, taking into account all of the circumstances.

We keep in mind that dealing with financial settlements during relationship breakdowns is stressful, and we try to help you achieve the best possible outcome whilst minimising the adverse effects of this difficult time.

We are always mindful of costs

We can assist you whether you choose to use mediation to help you resolve your financial issues, negotiate through solicitors, or whether you have already agreed settlement terms and require our assistance implementing the agreement.   

Throughout your matter we will always give you the most accurate estimate of your costs as is possible.  We will update this estimate on a regular basis as the matter progresses, and we can place a ceiling on the amount of costs to be incurred.

We may be able to offer fixed fees for work such as drawing up a consent order, where the terms are agreed by both parties and no advice is required on the fairness of the proposed settlement.

During a divorce or relationship breakup it can be the children who suffer the most.  You may be concerned about your children, where they will live and how contact will be maintained with them.

Divorce and separation can have a negative impact on children, and we are very aware of how sensitive this issue can be. 

When deciding what is best for children, parents should consider how they can minimise the impact on the child's daily life, and ensure that the children are provided for financially. 

We give practical and sensible advice

We can advise you on dealing with your children's needs and requirements and how you can protect your rights in respect of your children.

We can advise you on whether we think it is appropriate to apply to the court for an order in respect of residence, contact, parental responsibility, parental declaration or financial provision.  We try to avoid court proceedings where possible, to minimise the negative impact on the children and to minimise hostility and conflict between parents.
