Family Law

Our team of Family Law barristers have a wealth of knowledge and experience in all areas of the law. Relationship breakdown can be difficult and can have far reaching implications for you and your family. We can help with the difficulty of separation by dealing sensitively with the legal aspects of relationship breakdown.

Our team specialise in divorce, ancillary relief proceedings, children disputes and co-habitation disputes. Ancillary relief is the term used to describe proceedings dealing with your finances and property, which is often the most complicated aspect of a case. Our team is well known for its expertise and experience in dealing with assets and complex circumstances.
