We can advise on matters such as divorce, separation, child arrangements, adoption, guardianship and related family issues. Whether you are at the start of a relationship breakdown or already in the midst of a legal process, we are here to provide practical advice and supportive guidance.

If you are unsure where you stand, contact us for an initial conversation, and we will help you understand how we may be able to assist.

Care Proceedings

Care proceedings can be extremely serious and often require urgent legal advice. If social services are involved with your family, or court proceedings are being considered, it is important to speak to a solicitor as early as possible.

We can help parents and family members understand the process, their rights and the steps they may need to take. We aim to provide clear advice during what can be a very difficult time.

Property matters often involve important financial decisions, tight timescales and detailed legal paperwork. We advise clients on housing and property matters and can help you move forward with greater clarity.

Whether you are buying, selling, remortgaging, transferring property or dealing with a property-related issue, our team can guide you through the legal process and keep you informed at each stage.

Conveyancing

Buying or selling a property can be one of the biggest transactions you will ever make. Our conveyancing team can help make the process as clear and straightforward as possible.

We can assist with residential property transactions, including buying, selling, remortgaging, buy-to-let property and transfers of title. We will explain what needs to happen, handle the legal formalities, and help keep your transaction moving.

If you are planning a move, contact us for a conveyancing quote and guidance on the next steps.

Wills and Probate

Making a will is one of the most important steps you can take to protect your family and make your wishes clear. We can help you prepare, review or update your will so that your affairs are properly recorded.

We also assist with probate and estate administration. If someone close to you has died, we can help you understand your responsibilities, apply for probate where needed, deal with estate assets and guide you through the process.

If you need to make a will, update an existing will or deal with an estate, contact us. We will explain how we can help.

Power of Attorney, Deputyships and Court of Protection

Planning ahead can make things easier for you and your family if decisions need to be made in the future. We can advise on powers of attorney, deputyships and Court of Protection matters.

These services can help where someone needs support with decisions about finances, property, health or welfare. We can explain the options and help you put the right legal arrangements in place.

Trusts, Tax Planning and Estate Planning

We advise clients on trusts, inheritance and tax planning as part of our private client services. These matters can be important where you want to protect assets, plan for the future or manage estate arrangements carefully.

Every family situation is different, so we can help you understand the options available and whether further planning may be appropriate for your circumstances.

Compromise Agreements

If your employer has offered you a compromise agreement or settlement agreement, it is important to take legal advice before signing. These agreements can affect your employment rights and future claims.

We can review the terms, explain what they mean and advise you on the effect of signing. If you have received an agreement and are unsure what to do, contact us before making any decision.

Buying or Selling a Business

Buying or selling a business is a significant commercial step. We can help business owners understand the legal documents, risks and obligations involved before they commit to a transaction.

Whether you are selling your business, buying an existing business or transferring business assets, we can provide practical advice to help the transaction progress as smoothly as possible.

Business Disputes

Business disputes can take up valuable time and create financial pressure. We advise businesses on disputes and can help you consider the most practical route to resolution.

If your business is dealing with a disagreement involving another business, supplier, customer, landlord, tenant or other party, early advice can help protect your position and avoid unnecessary escalation.

We advise business clients on employment law matters. This can include support with employment issues, workplace disputes, contracts, staff problems and settlement agreements.

Taking advice before making employment decisions can help reduce risk and give you greater confidence that the correct process is being followed.
