On divorce and separation, consideration will need to be given to how your finances are to be separated from those of your spouse. We appreciate and understand that this can be a time of huge change and insecurity. Wherever possible, we aim to support you in resolving matters constructively with your partner to avoid conflict and find a fair outcome for you.

Our expert team of lawyers and mediators can assist in finding a resolution if possible without the need for court proceedings to be issued.

However, where necessary, we have considerable expertise in supporting our clients through litigation to enable the best outcome to be achieved.
