Trusted family solicitors, with you every step of the way.

We have one of the largest specialist teams of family lawyers in the region with the experience and expertise to help you see clearly in times of crisis and challenge.

 

 

Our renowned family solicitors delivers the very best legal support for a wide range of family matters. From relationships that are just starting out, those that are ending, and those that must continue amicably where children are involved.

As legal partners, we’re at your side to protect you, your family and your wealth. We specialise in handling complex cases for high-net-worth individuals, by safeguarding personal wealth through pre-nuptial and post-nuptial agreements, and where necessary, resolving challenging disputes.

We have the experience to skilfully and delicately navigate emotional situations, providing pragmatic advice to achieve positive outcomes for our clients.

The team is led by one of our Directors Patrick Mulcare, a Legal 500 Recommended Lawyer, who works exclusively in Family Law, conducting matters both in and, where possible, out of court.

Whilst every case is unique, we always strive to achieve the same result – the very best possible outcome for our clients. Our extended team draws upon a network of specialist experts including barristers, accountants, pensions experts, tax advisors, trust lawyers, wealth managers and financial advisors.

Thank you for his work and I would be sure to both use and recommend his services should they be required again in the future. “
