Within the department there are independently accredited specialists in matrimonial finance, cohabitation, children law, child abduction and adoption.
All of our family department solicitors are members of Resolution, the association for family lawyers committed to the constructive resolution of family disputes, and they work within Resolution’s code of conduct. They are all approachable and fully recognise the anxiety and distress that family disputes can cause. They also all have a commercial, practical and realistic attitude to dispute resolution for their clients. The department also undertakes publicly funded work when clients are eligible.
