If negotiations fail then sometimes there is no option but to issue court proceedings.  We have a team of highly trained and experienced individuals who will guide you through the process.

Settling finances in a divorce can be both complicated and time consuming.  The court has a wide discretion to deal with all financial assets and income including pensions.  This means that the lawyers involved in this process have to be both specialists and experienced.  They sometime have to draw upon the skills of other trusted advisors, such as business and property valuers, accountants and pension experts.  We have good relationships with those barristers who are leaders in this field.  There is the expertise available to undertake court proceedings but as members of Resolution we would hope to negotiate with your spouse.

The team is large enough and has the skills within it to deal with highly complex and high net value cases as well as a capacity to deal with more straightforward matters. 

The Family team at Blake Lapthorn covers cases in courts in the south of England and beyond.  A large percentage of our work is also undertaken in the Principal Registry in London where we are able to offer our large range of services to clients based in London.
