Family Law Solicitors

Family Legal Advice

Our family team consists of specialist family law solicitors, lawyers and legal executives.

We are highly experienced and have particular expertise in dealing with Divorce and Family Finance, Civil Partnerships, Unmarried Couples (including separation and property disputes) and all matters involving children, including residence (custody) and contact (access).

Our family lawyers in Eastbourne, Hailsham and Polegate exclusively practice family law. You can have confidence that your representative is suitably qualified and that they will have the expertise to give prudent, considered and sound advice.

We can help with cases ranging from simple and straightforward matters, where agreement has already been reached, to cases where negotiation is required on your behalf to achieve a settlement. We are also very experienced at dealing with more complex matters where court proceedings are needed.

Our family law solicitors will advise in respect of all forms of mediation services, or Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) – i.e. resolving matters without court intervention. This includes solicitor assisted settlement, mediation and collaborative law.
