Solicitors In London

Legal services from our London office

International family law and divorce

We advise on divorce and separation where the parties, the assets or the children are not all in England and Wales. That includes disputes over where a divorce should be heard, international child arrangements, relocation, child abduction, enforcement of overseas financial orders and the recognition of foreign divorces.

High net worth divorce and financial settlements

Complex financial remedy work is a core part of the London practice: business interests, trusts, inherited wealth, pensions and property in several countries. We work with accountants, tax advisers and foreign counsel so a settlement holds up in every jurisdiction that matters.

Prenuptial and postnuptial agreements

International prenuptial agreements, postnuptial agreements and cohabitation agreements drafted to be enforceable in England and Wales and, where possible, abroad. We commonly coordinate with lawyers in a client’s home jurisdiction so the agreement is respected on both sides.

Private wealth, wills and international probate

Estate planning for families with assets in more than one country, international wills, inheritance tax planning, lasting powers of attorney, probate where the deceased lived abroad or held UK assets, and contested estates and trust disputes.

Immigration and British citizenship

Spouse and partner visas, family immigration, Global Talent, EU Settlement Scheme applications, British citizenship, electronic travel authorisation matters and challenges to refusals. These cases often involve a sponsor in London and an applicant overseas, so the evidence has to satisfy two systems at once.
