Family & matrimonial
Overview
Family breakdown can be one of the most difficult and emotional periods you will experience and for that reason it is essential that you find a solicitor you can trust. We are the largest family team in the world with over 45 lawyers, all with experience of dealing with cases in a sensitive and professional manner. The family team has offices nationwide operating out of Birmingham, Cambridge, Leeds, London, Manchester and Norwich.
We advise a wide range of clients nationally and internationally on all aspects of family breakdown, with particular emphasis on higher value divorce settlements. Mills & Reeve's size puts clients in a unique position to benefit from the wide range of expertise available from other teams within the firm in order to guide you through the many difficult issues arising on family breakdown.
Most members of our team belong to Resolution, which is an organisation of specialist family lawyers committed to a constructive approach to the practice of family law. As a result of our commitment to the Resolution Code of Practice, the overwhelming majority of our cases achieve a settlement agreed by both parties without the need for a final hearing. We also have close links with the International Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers and the Family Law Bar Association.
Our teams are nationally regarded as market leaders in family law, being highly rated in both of the leading legal directories (which are compiled following an exhaustive interview process involving our competitors, barristers and clients): Legal 500 and Chambers. Comments made in these publications about our teams include:
"…A superb reputation for managing all aspects of family law for privately paying individuals, with a particular focus on high-value divorce settlement and on pension issues emanating from divorce." – Chambers UK"The size and expertise of the team give it a prominent standing and clients say ‘nothing is too much trouble for them'" – Legal 500
