Protecting your financial future

Securing your financial future is a priority during separation. From the family home and savings to complex pension sharing and business assets, we ensure you understand your entitlement. We work robustly to negotiate a fair division of assets and protect your finances permanently.

Putting your children first

Protecting your children’s well-being is the most important part of any separation. We advocate for constructive, child-focused solutions regarding where your children will live and how they spend time with each parent. We help you negotiate amicable arrangements and, where necessary, represent you in Court to secure the stability your family needs.

Wealth protection & agreements

Clarifying financial expectations can provide peace of mind for any couple. Whether you are planning a wedding, have already married, or are moving in together, we draft bespoke Prenuptial, Postnuptial, and Cohabitation Agreements. These documents are vital for protecting pre-acquired assets, inheritances, and business interests.

Civil Partnership Dissolution

We provide specialist advice for same-sex and mixed-sex couples seeking to end a Civil Partnership. The process of 'Dissolution' carries similar rights and responsibilities to divorce. We guide you through the legal requirements to dissolve the partnership, resolve financial ties, and settle family arrangements with sensitivity and expertise.

Unmarried couples & separation

The laws for unmarried couples are very different from married couples. If you are separating, you may face challenges regarding property ownership and limited financial claims. We provide specialist advice to help you resolve property disputes and separate fairly.
