We advise on all areas of family law, with a particular focus on the financial issues that arise when relationships are formalised or break down. Much of our work involves the resolution of complex financial settlements, often with an international perspective and further complicated by tax or trust issues. Our team enjoys a market leading reputation, built over a hundred years of practice. The size of a potential financial settlement is in many cases affected by the country in which divorce proceedings are filed.

Another area of special interest is the resolution of disputes over children, including issues of custody, access, and the problems that may arise when children go to live permanently abroad with a parent. In addition we also advise trustees and other third parties on the ramifications of a family member's marriage, civil partnership or separation.
With an extensive team, we can make sure each client is looked after by the lawyer with the knowledge and skills most appropriate to his or her specific circumstances. Their privacy is always closely guarded. Our team is further strengthened by colleagues in our tax, trust, employment, commercial and reputation management practices, a factor that sets us apart from other firms practising family law.
