Family Law Solicitors

Family law can be complex and quite often contentious, so it is important you have a family law solicitor who can understand your needs. Our clients seek family law advice on a wide range of family and domestic disputes. We aim to provide pragmatic and cost effective solutions and to resolve disputes. We are keen to explore opportunities for settlement without recourse to the courts but where the interests of the client demand it; we conduct court actions vigorously with a robust yet flexible approach in accordance with the Law Society’s Family Law protocol and the Resolution Code of Practice.

Family Solicitors

Family law solicitors are required for all types of legal services. We are aware that the breakdown of marriage and other relationships need both careful and sensitive handling by us and others involved in the process. The firm is committed to solicitor advocacy and, where required, we also instruct specialist members of the Family Bar. The firm’s family law partner, Michael Gillman, is a member of the Law Society Family Law Panel and Resolution and is a trained Collaborative lawyer and a Solicitor Advocate (all proceedings). Our associate family law solicitor, Monika Pirani, is an accredited specialist family law member of Resolution and a member of the Law Society Family Law Panel.

Our family law solicitors have experience in:

• the breakdown of marriage
• the breakdown of civil partnerships
  
• the issue of divorce proceedings
• advising with regard to financial settlements on divorce and separation and other property disputes
• advising on contact and residence disputes and other matters relating to children
• advising on paternity disputes
• advising on adoption
• claims made under the Inheritance [Provision for Family and Dependants] Act 1975
• cohabitation disputes
• pension splitting
  

It is our aim to advise clients so that they can make informed decisions regarding family law issues and resolve their problems in a constructive and conciliatory manner enabling them to move on towards a happy, secure and stable future.
