We are widely recognised as the leading Family Law practice in the Thames Valley and one of the top family law practices in southern England.
Our experienced team of specialist solicitors offers practical and sensitive advice on all aspects of family law including:
As well as providing legal advice, we offer two alternative methods of resolving disputes:
Why instruct us?
We offer a sensitive, yet no nonsense approach.
Whilst we will always look to secure the best outcome for our clients, we remain sensitive to the wider picture in each case and will advise on the most appropriate way to tackle issues to avoid unnecessary confrontation.
Each member of our Family team belongs to Resolution and the team is experienced in using alternative methods of resolving disputes, such as collaborative law and mediation, to help settle disputes.
The Legal 500 directory of UK law firms consistently lists the Head of Department, Andrew Don, as one of the leading practitioners in the country, praising his ‘positive, sensible and settlement orientated approach’.
Why pay London prices?
Many people with complex family matters look to the bigger London firms to handle their cases.
Our family solicitors are skilled at handling even the most complex cases and have earned a reputation for providing a standard of work equal to that of their more expensive London counterparts.
We instruct the same experts and barristers as the London firms and often issue proceedings in the same courts. Clients can have more direct contact with partners and other senior staff, whilst at the same time making savings by ensuring that work is done at the right level.
The size and vast experience of the team enables us to offer the same service as the top London firms, but at significantly lower rates.
As one client put it:
“A firm providing the services you expect from a city firm without the pomposity of a city firm”

"A ‘very decent outfit’, Blandy & Blandy LLP is ‘client centred’ and ‘extremely knowledgeable’. ‘Cool under pressure’, Andrew Don has ‘vast experience’, and the ‘extremely professional’ Brenda Long has a ‘down-to-earth approach’..."
The Legal 500 2011 Edition
Blandy & Blandy is a force to be reckoned with throughout the Thames Valley region. Despite the recent loss of one of its partners, the team continues to receive instructions from high net worth individuals in the UK and abroad. Its two partners are both highly able litigators, but also collaboratively trained and dedicated to providing clients with conciliatory settlements. Barristers praise the quality of the firm's instructions, while clients note: "They have been thoroughly professional throughout the proceedings, providing excellent and helpful advice and guidance."
Client Service "This is the first firm I have dealt with that gives me confidence that it wants to develop a longer-term relationship and is interested in protecting my family's long-term interests."
KEY INDIVIDUALS Sources say of Andrew Don that there is "nothing he doesn't know about matrimonial law and finance." High asset ancillary relief remains his exclusive area of focus. One client reports: "He has stuck with me throughout the difficult times and has remained a thorough professional." Brenda Long's practice is similar to Don's. Sources agree that "she is efficient, very knowledgeable and confident in her area of expertise."
