We understand that family matters are about more than practicalities. Whether you're facing divorce, separation, or difficult decisions about your children or finances, the emotional weight of these situations can feel overwhelming. You don't have to carry it alone.
Our specialist family law solicitors provide clear, compassionate advice that considers both the legal and emotional sides of your situation. Speak to us today for support with divorce and separation, child arrangements, disputes, and nuptial agreements.
Family law is a broad and often complex area, covering a wide range of sensitive issues. With decades of experience and a long track-record of supporting people across London and the wider region, our divorce and family law solicitors can provide expert advice across a range of areas, including:
Divorce and separation: The decision to end a marriage is never easy. Whether you're considering divorce or a formal separation agreement, our divorce solicitors for London will work to minimise conflict and stress while protecting your rights and securing the best possible outcome.
Financial settlements: Dividing finances after a divorce or separation is one of the most complex areas of family law. Our divorce lawyers will work to ensure you receive a fair settlement, taking into account all assets, including property, pensions, savings, and business interests.
Child arrangements: Our family lawyers place the welfare of your children at the centre of everything they do, helping you reach fair, workable child arrangements for living arrangements, contact, and visitation.
Civil partnership dissolution: If you're looking to dissolve a civil partnership, our civil partnership solicitors can guide you through the process and help you reach fair financial and child arrangements.
Cohabitation agreements and disputes: Unlike married couples, cohabiting partners have no automatic right to a share of their partner's property if the relationship ends. A cohabitation agreement can help protect both parties. If a dispute has already arisen, our family lawyers can advise you on your rights and options.
Prenuptial and postnuptial agreements: A prenuptial or postnuptial agreement can provide important protection for both parties, setting out clearly how assets should be divided in the event of a relationship breakdown.

Speak to our dedicated family law solicitors for London
Just had initial telephone contact with Jenniffer. Very helpful and explained everything in a very understanding and helpful way. I will be proceeding with Slater and Gordon as they appear very professional and very helpful
Client testimonial for Jenniffer Brunt
For anyone needing help with family issues I could not recommend Slater and Gordon highly enough. I always had the feeling I had the best looking after my interests and they certainly didn't disappoint.
C I (family and personal matters case)
The best solicitors to fight your corner! I struggled with a nasty unmarried couple dispute alone for over a year before biting the bullet and paying for proper legal support. I had one previous experience with a cheaper less well known solicitor and I just felt completely let down and not a priority. But with S&G - from start to finish, I felt supported 100% and valued.
