We are a dedicated team of family lawyers at Herrington & Carmichael who individually and collectively offer a vast number of years experience in family law and can provide a knowledgeable and sensitive approach to your family issues.
We are members of Resolution (first for family law) and committed to a non-confrontational approach. Within our team we have two family mediators and three collaborative lawyers.
We are used to dealing with a whole range of cases, including sensitive and high net worth. We will advise on the legal options available to you. If you wish to try and resolve matters through Mediation, we will help you find the right mediator to suit your circumstances. We will discuss with you the suitability of your case for Collaborative Law, and if this is the right way forward, we will advise and guide you through the process. If required we will prepare all Court documentation and represent you accordingly.
Whatever role you wish us to fulfil, whether as a background advisor or conducting your case in full, it is essential that you obtain good legal advice at an early stage. It is important not to make tactical errors at the outset which could lead to difficulties later on.
We recognise arranging the first meeting can be daunting, however it is important to meet face to face to help you get to know your family lawyer and make sure they are the right person for you. The right person is the one you feel comfortable with and in addition to being equipped with specialist knowledge, your lawyer must listen to you and understand what you need. This is why we now offer up to one hour free first consultations to help you make an informed decision on the way forward.
We can also help you at the outset of a marriage or relationship with wealth protection by way of Pre and Post Nuptial Agreements, Civil and Cohabitation Agreements.
