How we resolve your family law matter
Each case is different as are the needs of each client.
As families have become more internationally mobile and wealth structures more complex, family law has become increasingly intertwined with tax, succession, immigration, business valuation, cryptocurrency and reputation management. The result has seen a shift towards earlier planning and preventative advice, where speed, privacy and long-term wealth protection matter more than public litigation.
We aim to identify, at the outset, the most efficient and cost-effective ways to resolve matters. We will actively pursue avenues to reach agreement away from the court arena, engaging differing forms of Non-Court Dispute Resolution (NCDR) where appropriate.
However, there will be some cases which cannot be settled. We are highly skilled litigators with years of experience and several reported cases. We will ensure your case is handled strategically and effectively. We will fight when needed, as highly effective litigators, with a proven track record and several groundbreaking reported cases.
We have firm and longstanding connections with other leading family law firms, financial advisors, divorce consultants and therapists meaning we can provide a dedicated team and appropriate support throughout. We also regularly deal with issues arising from cross-border disputes and frequently work with lawyers and professional advisors across the globe.
