Individuals and families facing a divorce, a dispute over maintenance or custody, or questions of inheritance, who want private, unhurried advice.

A divorce, custody, or inheritance matter needs legal advice.

How we work

  • Divorce Litigation

    Contested and mutual-consent divorces.

  • Maintenance & Custody

    Practical arrangements for spouses and children, in or out of court.

  • Settlements & Mediation

    Private, faster routes to a resolution where they suit the family.

  • Will Writing

    Drafting of wills.

What you get

  • Clear, private advice on your options, with likely timelines
  • Settlement terms negotiated, recorded, and signed where that is the right course
  • Petitions and responses drafted and filed on your instructions
  • Wills drafted to your wishes, so they are clear and reduce disputes later
