Relationships play a significant role in everyone’s lives, and we are fundamental in resolving family disputes for our clients, whether they are at the beginning of a relationship or the end. We provide sound legal advice, acting in your best interests and considering the welfare of any children involved.
Industry leaders in all matters relating to children law, both public and private, addressing the most pressing current issues in this area. Our team includes a prominent matrimonial practice representing clients in high-value, contentious divorce proceedings. We also have expertise in complex international matters, covering both financial and children’s cases. Cases involving the cross-border abduction of children are an area of particular strength.
Chambers and Partners
Not all relationships or marriages are successful, and when things go wrong, there are practical issues to consider, as well as emotional upset and uncertainty about the future.
When you experience difficulties in your private and family life, our award-winning team of family law solicitors is here to help. We offer a compassionate approach to resolving family disputes, understanding how stressful and emotional such situations can be.
Our family law and matrimonial experts provide tailored, individual advice across a broad range of areas, including relationships, children, and international matters. The breadth of our family services means we can draw on our wealth of experience, helping us navigate often complex and difficult situations.
We provide legal advice to help you decide the best approach for your situation. Whether entering a legal agreement with your partner or dealing with a breakdown in your relationship, our family law and matrimonial solicitors can work with you to offer comprehensive advice. When children are involved, we are always sensitive to both their needs and yours as a parent or guardian.
We act in your best interests and handle family matters in a pragmatic, non-confrontational way. We always consider whether an agreement can be reached between the parties through mediation or other means. This cost-effective approach allows our clients to often avoid the uncertainty of going to court, which is considered best practice by family lawyers’ organizations such as Resolution, of which we are proud members.
Not all family disputes can be resolved outside of the courtroom. When mediation isn’t an option, we work diligently to achieve a fair solution as quickly as possible. Our family law solicitors offer guidance, support, and legal advice throughout the proceedings so you can focus on the well-being of yourself and your loved ones.
Freemans Lawfirm’s Family Law Team recognizes that the breakdown of a marriage or relationship can be one of the most traumatic events in a person’s life. Our family lawyers are members of Resolution and include accredited specialists, mediators, collaborative practitioners, and Family Law Arbitrators, all of whom provide the advice and support best suited to our clients’ particular needs and help them reach their goals.
We don’t just advise clients when their relationships are in trouble. We also specialize in Relationship Agreements, helping clients plan the financial aspects of their marriage or cohabitation. Prenuptial Agreements have become increasingly common, and our team of family lawyers can offer advice on all types of relationship agreements.
Some clients visiting us for the first time about their relationship difficulties may already have a clear idea of the outcome they want to achieve. Others may have no idea what to expect. Part of our role is to provide clear family law advice about the various legal processes available, such as mediation, collaboration, constructive negotiation, and court proceedings. Understanding these different approaches will help you make an informed and appropriate decision for your unique situation.
