In family arbitration, our solicitors can help you and your former partner agree a final, legally binding divorce without the need to go to court. Arbitration covers all the necessary elements of a divorce, including finances, property, financial support and the arrangements for children, with agreement reached through discussion and with advice from your arbitrators.
Arbitration protects your privacy. Because the courts aren’t involved everything stays between you, your partner and your solicitors. It keeps you in control of deadlines, timings and the people you deal with. It’s also generally cheaper and faster than going through the courts.
Our family team is highly experienced. We approach arbitration with care and neutrality, helping both parties feel heard while prioritising children’s welfare.
