Civil Partnership, Cohabitee, Matrimonial and Family matters are often emotionally charged, which complicates the original legal concern. The Family Solicitor at our firm is Melanie Stansfield Glass who is a Resolution accredited specialist and member of the Law Society's Children Panel. Resolution is a national organisation whose members seek to adopt a conciliatory rather than a confrontational approach to matters. This approach reduces animosity and emotional pressure by seeking mutual agreement rather than conflict and can be more cost effective, producing a quicker solution to problems. Mediation and negotiation to settlement are encouraged.

Our Family Department team consists of skilled professionals. Whilst being friendly, approachable and sympathetic, we will, if necessary, take a more forceful route if it is appropriate to achieve a resolution. Should Court action become the most practicable way of resolving difficulties, we will conduct this effectively.
