Our work covers the full spectrum of family law, including divorce, financial provision, separation agreements, pre‑nuptial and cohabitation agreements, cohabitation claims, child law, adoption and Court of Session litigation.

We are a modern, paper‑light practice using LEAP as our cloud‑based case management system, and we offer remote consultations via video call platforms or telephone. We pride ourselves on being accessible, flexible and forward‑thinking in our approach to client service.
