Family law and divorce solicitors in Preston, Lancashire

Our nationally-recognised team is one of the largest in the North, giving you peace of mind with the best legal expertise on your case. 

We provide strategic, bespoke legal advice and guidance covering all areas of family law:

• Alternative dispute resolution — a quicker, more cost-effective alternative to traditional court proceedings, ADR can help you achieve an effective result in respect of financial and child disputes, even in complex cases.
• Child arrangements — we're deeply experienced and have a highly successful record in all manner of child law matters. This includes complex child-related disputes, abduction and relocation.
• Co-habitation — contrary to popular belief, couples who live together don't enjoy the same financial rights as married couples. To safeguard your interests and achieve financial security, we can help cohabitees to draft a cohabitation agreement.
• Divorce and financial settlements — most divorces are straightforward, though others can be more complex, particularly if there's an international element. We can guide you through the entire process, safeguarding your interests and helping you to achieve financial security.
• Fertility, surrogacy and parenthood — our preeminent team has helped to shape fertility law in the UK by acting in several important cases. Whether you're exploring routes to parenthood or have an issue arising from your family’s circumstances, we can help you too.
• Pre- and post-nuptial agreements — while prenup and postnup agreements are pragmatic ways of safeguarding your assets, negotiating terms has the potential to raise tensions. We can walk you through every stage.

Not only can family law be personally challenging — it’s often a time of great emotional upheaval for all involved — but the various aspects of family law can be complex and highly specialised.

We adopt an empathetic, bespoke, outcome-oriented approach. As well as being recognised leaders in their respective fields, our Lancashire family law team contains members of Resolution, meaning that they promote a constructive approach to family issues that considers the needs of the whole family — placing the needs of any children at the heart of the process.

We handle cases of all shapes, sizes and complexities. This includes disputes involving significant assets and investments, including property, businesses and pensions.

Our team will work closely with you to understand your case, walk you through all the options and put together a bespoke strategy aimed at achieving the best possible end result — enabling you to move forward with confidence.
