Don’t tell me you haven’t made a will yet!
When someone new comes into your life it's time to think about making or changing your will. If you don’t have an up-to-date will, the law can be very hard on the people you leave behind. We will help you to create a will that secures the future of your most treasured people and possessions.

Don’t leave home without us!
Going through a separation or divorce needn't be a nightmare. We specialise in the fast-growing practice of collaborative law: no courts, no judges, less paperwork, less stress. Very few practices have trained collaborative lawyers but you're looking at one of them.
