Financial divorce settlements are an important part of most marital breakdowns, and it’s easy to see why. The financial agreement you and your former partner reach could have long-lasting effects on your lives, as well as those of your children.
The process can be complicated, but our approach isn’t. We will get to grips with every part of your financial situation and explore every option to make sure we reach a constructive, beneficial solution.

Reaching a fair divorce settlement
Our proven track record of successful results for clients is built not just on our team’s decades of expertise, but also the way we approach each financial settlement. There is very little that our divorce lawyers haven’t seen. As well as dealing with more usual cases, they have specialist experience of complex, high-value matters involving high-net-worth individuals or individuals with more complex financial arrangements. No matter how complex your financial situation, our team will be able to present you with a clear strategy for reaching a fair and reasonable financial settlement and will ensure that all assets are properly and proportionately considered.
As our client, you don’t just benefit from the expertise of our divorce lawyers. We can call on the specialist knowledge and experience of our entire team to ensure you have the right skills on your side. From pensions to property, immigration to businesses, we’ll provide clear, pragmatic guidance to deliver the right divorce settlement for you.
Building a team around your needs
We have experience of complex English, international and cross-border divorce matters. We have built a reputation for success, and several of our lawyers are individually ranked in Chambers and Partners, as well as the team being recognised in both the Legal 500 and Chambers and Partners.
In addition, our divorce lawyers are members of Resolution, an organisation of 5,000 family lawyers, and the Law Society’s Family Law Accreditation Scheme. By creating a tailored team based on your needs, we can keep the costs appropriate at all times.
Ensuring fair treatment
Clients often understandably have a lot of questions about who gets what in a divorce settlement.
We will help you consider what might be required to allow you, your spouse/partner and the children to rehouse, we will help you understand and decide on the treatment of pensions and will also look at your income and income needs both now and in the future.
The topic can become quite emotive, so we make sure we always remain realistic and pragmatic with our advice. Although a divorce settlement can be agreed at any time before or after divorce, our experience shows that it is beneficial to negotiate as early in the divorce process as possible. This gives each party certainty and stops the process becoming unnecessarily drawn out. It also ensures that we have a better understanding of the finances early in the separation process.
Acting in the long-term interest of our clients
There are certain circumstances that can affect your divorce settlement after it is agreed. If, for example, you are paying your former partner maintenance (not including child maintenance), this will usually cease if they remarry. However, if you are receiving maintenance from your former partner and they remarry, you should still receive your payments. We will also advise you on next steps if either of your needs or resources change in the future.
We don’t view a divorce settlement as mere paperwork, we see it as an integral part of our client’s lives that should change and evolve with them. We always work to ensure every one of our clients gets the result they deserve.
