Dedicated Family Mediation

We are here to help you if you are having relationship difficulties, going through a divorce or separation or perhaps you are looking for support with a financial settlement, protecting the family finances, including pre and post nuptial agreements, arrangements for children or need help with domestic abuse. A lot of our cases involve high value and complex structures, often with international assets and jurisdiction issues. We also advise in complex children’s proceedings where there has been local authority involvement and in applications to remove/contest removal of children from the jurisdiction. Whatever the issue, we can provide a specialist family solicitor by your side.

Our expert legal knowledge means we can help both where there are complex issues to resolve as well as helping professional families and those that are not working, across Hertfordshire and the surrounding areas.

Our solicitors are members of Resolution, an organisation committed to a constructive and non-confrontational approach to family law. Because of our commitment to the Resolution Code of Practice, many of our clients achieve a settlement by negotiation which saves time and costs. In those cases where an amicable settlement is not possible, we have experienced litigators and negotiators, who can act robustly, through Court proceedings, to achieve the best outcome for you. We will tailor our approach to suit your individual circumstances.

It is vital to us that you feel your solicitor is there to support you. To ensure our clients are fully supported throughout the process, both practically, legally and emotionally, we work closely with other professionals to help you such as counsellors, coaches, therapists, mediators and parenting groups. We also use our network of financial advisors and forensic accountants to ensure you obtain the best financial settlement and that your assets are protected.

Being local we are able to ensure that we can meet with you whenever required, are completely tailored and flexible to ensure you can talk to us whenever suits you. Our boutique service also means that we are very competitive in our rates and we offer a clear pricing structure.
