Chambers and Partners

Not all relationships or marriages are successful. When things go wrong there are practical issues to consider as well as the emotional upset and uncertainty of the future.

When you experience difficulties in your private and family life, our award-winning team of family law solicitors can help. We offer a compassionate approach to resolving family disputes because we understand how stressful it can be.

Our family law and matrimonial experts provide tailored, individual advice across a broad range of areas concerning relationships, children and international matters. The breadth of our family services means we have a wealth of experience to draw on, which informs our understanding of what are often complex and difficult situations.

We offer legal advice to help you decide the best approach for you. Whether you are entering a legal agreement with your partner or your relationship is breaking down, our family law and matrimonial solicitors can work with you and offer comprehensive advice. When children are involved we are always sensitive to both their needs and yours as a parent or guardian.

Our clients trust us because we listen to their needs, understand their concerns and advocate on their behalf.

We act in your best interests and deal with family matters in a pragmatic and non-confrontational way. We always consider whether an agreement can be reached between parties, through mediation or other means. This cost-effective approach means that our clients can often avoid the uncertainty of going to court and is considered best practice by family lawyers’ group Resolution, of which we are members.

Not all family disputes can be resolved outside of the court room. Where mediation is not an option we work hard to achieve a fair solution as quickly as possible. Our family law solicitors offer guidance, support and legal advice throughout proceedings so you can concentrate on the well-being of you and your loved ones.

Freemans Lawfirm Family Law Team appreciate 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 who can provide family law advice and support which best suits a client’s particular needs and helps them reach their goals.

We do not only advise clients when their relationships are in trouble. We also specialise in Relationship Agreements which help clients to plan the financial side of their marriage or cohabitation. Prenuptial Agreements are now very common. Our team of family lawyers can advise on all types of relationship agreements.

Some clients visiting us for the first time about their relationship difficulties may have a good idea of the outcome they would like to achieve. Others have no idea what to expect at all. Part of our job is to provide clear family law advice about the various legal processes which are available – mediation, collaboration, constructive negotiation and court proceedings. It is important to understand these different approaches so you are able to make an informed choice and the right one for you.
