Not all Divorce, Child and Family Law Issues necessarily end up in Court. Resolving your case out of Court is likely to be cheaper and less stressful than contested litigation. We can help you with our Free First Meetings, uncontested Divorce Fixed Fees, arranging a bespoke ‘Pay As You Go’ service or learn more about Arbitration, Private Hearings and Collaborative Law. As part of our advice, we will discuss with you the various methods of resolving disputes and detail which is the most appropriate for your case.

The usual starting point is through negotiation which can take place between lawyers or with people representing themselves. We can also assist our clients in preparing for their own private negotiations. With our strong team of experienced family lawyers, we go beyond the rather out-dated ‘see you in court’ approach of taking situations before a judge to rule on family matters.
