Family law for a modern family
As we go through life, things change – you might get married, start a family or want to make provisions for the future. And at every stage, we’re here to help you do everything properly and, most importantly, legally. Relationships have the law at their centre and it’s worth asking for specialist legal advice beforehand. This is just as important if you plan to cohabit – often called common law marriage. And that’s where we step in. Our friendly team of family lawyers have the experience and expertise to help with all the legal advice a modern family needs.

Getting married?
When you’re about to tie the knot, it’s not the most romantic thing to talk about paperwork – but it does need thinking about. You’ll need to consider how your new status affects you both, whether you need to change your Wills and how this affects your children if you already have them. You might also want to think about ring fencing assets you already own. So, before the big day it might be worth thinking about a pre nuptial agreement.

Our family solicitors can help with just about anything:
• Accredited specialist in complex financial and property matters
