We understand that family matters require more than just keen negotiating skills and technical excellence. We never lose sight of the real issues that are important to our clients and we work closely with them to achieve swift, practical and, wherever possible, amicable solutions. We recognise that maintaining amicable relationships after they have broken down is all important, especially where there are children involved.
A highly regarded part of the firm, our family team, headed by Simon Thomas, includes members of the Law Society Family Law Paneland we are the only firm in Huntingdonshire where all the family lawyers are accredited members of Resolution. There is a wealth of experience across the team in the following areas:
The team subscribe to the Resolution Code of Practice which encourages settlement of disputes by negotiations wherever possible. Whilst we aim to achieve our client’s objectives by negotiation, we will take effective legal proceedings where appropriate to protect their interests.
We have specialised knowledge of business and pension issues relating to the division of assets and we can call upon assistance from our other departments on commercial matters, trust issues and investments.
We take a sensitive and objective approach to divorce. Whatever your circumstances separation will often be a source of sadness and disappointment. We see it as our role to guide you through the legal system to use a considerable expertise we have in dealing with difficult situations to make them as straightforward for you as possible. We have a proven track record of achieving successful financial settlements, often without recourse to Court.
If you have a family problem you can always discuss it with us. No matter how small or large, we will be able to help.
