Whether you require a divorce solicitor or advice on cohabitation, the size and experience of our family law team enables us to respond quickly to your needs. Four members of our team are Accredited Family Law Specialists and many are actively involved in regional and national committees of Resolution. A further three are members of the Law Society's Family Law Panel and most are trained collaborative lawyers.
