SOLUTIONS BASED FOCUS

We will always do our best to prevent your case from reaching Court. Our focus on dispute resolution aims to reduce your exposure to stress, expenses and conflict; we can negotiate, refer you to mediation or manage a round the table negotiation, such as collaborative law. We also understand that you may be under a lot of financial pressure so we strive to keep your fees to a minimum and provide a transparent fee structure to give you clarity on your legal costs.

Our emphasis is on supporting and guiding you through a process at a very difficult time of life. We do not set out to litigate unnecessarily and work with you to find the most effective way to resolve a financial dispute possible. This may be different for different clients and our skilled team have many years’ experience in working in different ways to achieve financial settlements with the ultimate aim for these to be on an amicable basis. We are acutely aware that many relationship breakdowns involve children and we aspire to keep the impact on the children of the family to a minimum.
