Family Law is a sensitive matter. The break-up of partnerships and families can be rife with emotion. Where possible, we place an emphasis on resolving matters outside of court, through our mediation service and collaborative practice. 

This can help dissolve or prevent volatile situations and keep things on friendly terms, which is especially important where children are involved.  

Your wishes should be reflected in your will.
