- Separation
- Property settlements
- Parenting arrangements

How a matter runs
-
A first call
Tell us what has happened and what you need. We will say whether we can help and who will look after it.
-
Costs in writing
Before any work starts you receive an estimate and a short letter setting out the scope.
-
The work itself
Drafting, searches, letters and negotiation, with a note to you each time something changes.
-
Wrapping up
We confirm what was done, hand back your originals and tell you anything left to watch for.
