We are one of the region’s most experienced and respected firms of family law and childcare solicitors. As members of Resolution our lawyers follow the Resolution Code of Conduct, adopting a non-confrontational, solution-focused approach. Our aim is to resolve disputes through the use of mediation, collaboration and arbitration, avoiding the stress and the costs of formal court proceedings. Our family team is also listed in the Legal 500, the clients’ guide to the best law firms in the UK.
Our team is led by Jen Law, a highly experienced family law solicitor with over 17 years’ experience. Jen is ranked in Chambers and Partners Guide, and covers all areas of family law practice, particularly high-value complex financial disputes: including farming and intervenor cases, and matters where parties have businesses and property portfolios.
Dominika Windak is a skilful and accomplished practitioner who deals with all aspects of child contact and children applications to the court, as well as financial disputes, including prenup agreements and cases involving businesses.
Megan Huntington is a family law solicitor who has trained and qualified through the firm. Her expertise focuses on financial disputes, including preparation of detailed and intricate financial documents for disclosure and settlement negotiations, alongside contested court proceedings and cases involving high-value pensions.
Harriet Day is an accomplished solicitor with over 7 years’ experience in legal practice. She deals with a broad spectrum of cases with a particular interest and proficiency in financial disputes, prenup agreements, cohabitation agreements, and separation agreements.
We have a range of funding options available to suit your pocket, including fixed fees. Our fixed fee divorce service, for instance, starts at just £325 plus VAT and disbursements.
Our lawyers can also work to an agreed budget and will be happy to provide you with an estimate of what it is likely to cost you at the outset. The tailored hourly rate service is usually the best way to ensure that you have the peace of mind of knowing you are fully supported through one of life’s more traumatic events.
We also work with litigation funders, Level, where legal fees can be met from a loan without you needing to find costs upfront. Megan deals with applications for that type of funding and can discuss with you the options available.
In addition, we offer ‘Family Law on Demand‘ which allows you to use our services on a limited basis for one-off tasks. You therefore only pay for the time we spend working for you, as and when you ask us to, rather than paying us to deal with all aspects of your case from start to finish.
For free initial guidance on any aspect of family or childcare law, call our free legal helpline on 0333 888 0404 or send brief details to us by email, and we will be happy to set up a free consultation with one of our specialist family lawyers.
