Family law practice
Not all relationships or marriages are successful. When things go wrong there are practical issues to consider as well as the emotional upset and uncertainty of the future. Birketts’ family law solicitors appreciate that the breakdown of a marriage or relationship can be one of the most traumatic events in a person’s life. Our family lawyers are members of Resolution, some accredited specialists and others trained mediators and collaborative practitioners who can provide advice and support which best suits a client’s particular needs and helps them reach their goals.
This exceptionally talented group of lawyers is commercially intuitive and always a pleasure to deal with.

Some clients visiting us for the first time about their relationship difficulties may have a good idea of the outcome they would like to achieve. Others have no idea what to expect at all. Part of our job is to provide clear information about the various legal processes which are available – mediation, collaboration, constructive negotiation and court proceedings. It is important to understand these different approaches so you are able to make an informed choice and the right one for you.
