We work with you to find practical and cost-effective solutions. Our lawyers are all members of Resolution, whose code of practice promotes an approach which is sensitive, constructive, cost effective, and most likely to result in an agreement.

Many of us are trained in Collaborative Law, a new initiative designed to resolve the issues which flow from relationship breakdowns process without resort to court proceedings. Much of our work involves complex issues such as high value assets. We are also experienced in cases where there is a foreign element.

Whatever your situation we will do our best to help you, not just by dealing with the technical legal issues that arise, but by ensuring you are listened to and your situation is understood. It is an emotionally difficult time. We hope that the information in this section will give you a little peace of mind and make it easier for you to have your questions answered, to understand what procedures are required and how we will work with you.
