We provide a full range of family law services

When new relationships begin, we can prepare cohabitation agreements and pre-nuptial agreements. At the first sign of a relationship breakdown, we can provide advice and guidance and signpost coaching and counselling services so that the support you receive is holistic and meets all your needs. 

We specialise in dealing with the separation and divorce and the associated issues and encourage a supported inter-disciplinary service through our links with various family consultants with varying skill sets. We provide support not just for your legal requirements but also can direct you to family consultants, family therapists, financial and pension advisors and parenting services to truly and thoroughly support you throughout the relationship breakdown and beyond. 

Listening to your needs and circumstances, we consider the best approach and process for you and your family and try to steer you away from a court based solution.

We act for married individuals, engaged couples, cohabitants, civil partners, ex pats, surrogates, intended parents, grandparents and extended family members.

Our network of trusted advisers allows us to offer an integrated divorce and separation service. We consider your legal, financial and personal needs, aims and objectives. We also advise you to make a new will and lasting power of attorney and can assist with these.

Our main offices is located in central Winchester with offices also in Brighton, Putney, South West London. We primarily serve clients in the Hampshire and South East area, however our services are not geographically restricted and we represent clients throughout the UK, including London and worldwide.
