Overview

Our family law department offers the highest quality of support to our clients, stemming from the experience and talent of outstanding family lawyers who are nationally and internationally acknowledged as leaders in their field.

We act in some of the leading cases in England and Wales representing clients including professionals, entrepreneurs, wealthy individuals, landowners, those in the public eye, and their partners.

Our solicitors' skills include constructive negotiation, a full range of family dispute resolution services, including mediation and collaborative law, and robust and rigorous litigation where required.

We have significant experience in handling relationship breakdown, including divorce, the dissolution of civil partnerships and disputes between unmarried couples; the ground breaking issues surrounding surrogacy; 'alternative families'; and complex parenting arrangements. Our solicitors also work closely with the firm's highly regarded private client team on complex onshore and offshore tax and trust issues, as well as lifetime, inheritance and succession planning. Five partners from our family department have previously chaired Resolution, the leading specialist family law solicitors' organisation in the country.

Six members of our team are fellows of the prestigious International Academy of Family Lawyers (IAFL) and we hold leadership positions in both the family section of the International Bar Association (IBA) and the Private Clients' Commission of the International Association of Young Lawyers (AIJA). This positions us at the very forefront of those who advise on international family law issues including 'forum shopping' or jurisdiction disputes as well as international marital agreements and cases involving cross-border disputes about children.
