Getting a lawyer involved in a family matter might seem like a recipe for increased conflict, but in reality, it is often the best way to avoid unnecessary conflict while protecting your best interests and those of your loved ones.

Our team is accredited by the Law Society for Family Law Advanced and all Solicitors are members of Resolution, the network for family lawyers committed to reducing conflict in family legal disputes.
Getting the outcome you need in the right way for you and your family is at the heart of our approach. We will always prioritise finding an amicable agreement to family disputes wherever possible, helping you to find a positive outcome and move on faster, with lower legal fees and less stress.

No matter the issue, we will work closely with you to help you find the best way forward.
Our solicitors are all members of Resolution and/or the Law Society Family Law Panels. This means we are committed to approaching matters in a sensitive manner putting the needs of your family first, particularly where children are involved.
Our team can offer you support and guidance throughout negotiations, mediation, collaborative law and the court process if necessary.
Negotiation – Family legal matters can often be resolved quickly through straightforward negotiation between the parties with the support and advice of your respective lawyers.
Family mediation – One of the most popular ways to resolve issues around divorce and separation, both parties will sit down with a trained, neutral mediator to discuss any points of dispute and agree amicable solutions.
Collaborative law – Used for issues such as making financial settlements and arrangements for children during divorce, this involves a series of four-way meetings between the parties and their lawyers to work through the issues and negotiate solutions. Family Law Partner Nameeta Gujral is a trained collaborative lawyer.
Family court proceedings – In those rare cases where an amicable agreement cannot be reached, we can guide you through every stage of court proceedings, making sure your case is constructed and presented in the most effective way possible.
We always want to tailor our approach to your needs, so we will be happy to discuss the various options with you so you can make the right choice for your situation.
