Leading Family Law Solicitors in Reading & Henley-on-Thames
We recognise that a relationship breakdown and other family related issues can be complex, as well as emotionally and financially challenging for you.
If you are considering separation or divorce, or are seeking advice in relation to another matter, you will want to find a carefully chosen solicitor who is a specialist in Family Law, understands and is sensitive to your situation and is on-hand when needed. The area of Family Law is fast moving and only a solicitor who spends all their time working in this field can stay abreast of all the developments. You may find our blog article, 'Choosing a Solicitor Who is a Specialist Family Lawyer' and this guide to our Family Law team (PDF) helpful.
Our team is experienced in dealing with Family Law cases ranging from the relatively straightforward, through to complex and high value divorces, including those involving children, significant assets (including property, business shareholdings, trusts and overseas interests). We can also advise on areas including nuptial agreements, domestic abuse, surrogacy, enforcement and appeals.
Finding the right approach
Recognising the need to find the right approach for you, a member of our Family Law team can discuss and help to assess your individual situation and provide clear and practical advice on a way forward which will achieve the best outcome for you and your family, while helping to carefully manage timescales and costs.
All of our solicitors are members of Family Law body Resolution and committed to its ethos of adopting a constructive approach to resolving family disputes. As such, we offer several alternatives to Court litigation, including mediation, collaborative law, arbitration and early neutral evaluation, providing you the opportunity to deal with matters without the need to attend Court. We are also experienced in using other methods to resolve disputes, such as round table meetings and private financial dispute resolution hearings (FDRs).
Experienced Family Law solicitors

We are also experienced in working with our clients remotely and adept at dealing with matters in this way, meaning that you can expect the same expert legal advice and excellent client care on which our leading reputation is based, however you decide to work with us. Where appropriate, we may also be able to travel to see you for an initial or subsequent meetings.
As a leading regional firm, we instruct the same experts and barristers and issue proceedings in the same Courts as the larger national and City firms, providing a cost-effective alternative, without compromising on the quality of legal advice you will receive.
We enjoy excellent relationships with other leading professional services firms across the region and are experienced in working closely with other advisers who may be representing you. This can help to ensure a smoother process and to minimise the likelihood and impact of any unforeseen issues or costly delays. You can also rely on our specialist expertise in areas other than Family Law, if needed, including Wills and estate planning, property and advice in relation to your business interests.
We are the only firm with offices in both Reading and Henley-on-Thames to be recognised as a top tier firm of Family Law solicitors in the UK’s leading guides to law firms, Chambers UK and The Legal 500. In 2018, we were named as a finalist for 'Family Law Firm of the Year - South' at the UK-wide Family Law Awards. Our successful approach is also reflected in the excellent client feedback we continue to receive.
