Family law solicitors

We’ve been delivering social purpose for over 50 years and we’ve been supporting families for even longer.

We’re the leading family law team in the Midlands and have specialist family law solicitors – Liz Wyatt, Chris Lloyd-Smith and Maria Ramon. We also have the biggest mediation team in Birmingham and a family law team that has been ranked as both Tier 1 in Legal 500 and Band 1 by Chambers & Partners – so we know what it takes to support families when they need it the most.

Our family mediators work with children and specialists alike and can support group mediation or one-on-one sessions to seek resolution for some of the most emotionally-charged family situations.

We believe children should always have a say in their future where appropriate, and through our support, we’re able to facilitate a series of child-inclusive and direct consultations to safely support their needs too. There are no winners in cases where children are involved so it’s our role to ensure the best interests of you and your children are put first.

We work across a number of disciplines in family law. These include:

  • Advising parties who are divorcing or separating if unmarried.
  • Negotiating financial settlements where assets are complex or high value.
  • Advising on private childcare arrangements and negotiations during court proceedings.
  • Representing and advising parents through the child protection process.
  • Advising prospective parents on adoption and surrogacy processes.
  • Complexities around children issues including court powers, parenting plans, introducing new partners and schooling.

We’re time- and cost-efficient with every scenario we are faced with. With family structures becoming more complex – second, and third marriages commonplace – being able to provide intelligent solutions and powerful consultancy, ensures you’re proactively presented and protected.
