Our approach to your divorce or family law case

Your circumstances are unique to you and therefore require a team that is used to dealing with diverse and complex situations. Your situation deserves a bespoke process. We therefore offer a tailor-made service from experienced lawyers who are viewed as the leading lights of the profession.

Your goals are considered from the outset. We take time to understand your issues and help you achieve the best possible outcome. We work with you to choose the best route to resolution, whether in court or through the use of alternative dispute resolution. We are not afraid to fight your corner if that is what is required.

Our strength in depth across the team is unrivalled. Once we have had an initial meeting, we will build your custom team of professionals based on your needs and the issues arising. 

Our divorce and family law expertise

Our Leeds based lawyers act exclusively in high value disputes. As a result, we have particular expertise in advising high earning professionals, unravelling complicated trusts, identifying assets held within companies and advising on international assets and complex cross-border issues.
