Pre-nuptial or pre-registration agreements are becoming increasingly popular amongst LGBTQIA couples preparing to get married or enter into a civil partnership. These agreements outline what will happen to your finances and assets in the event of the relationship breaking down.

Of course, no one likes to think that the worst will happen, but a prenup or pre-registration agreement will make things a whole lot easier for you if it does. Our skilled and experienced team of experts will help you draw up an agreement that you’re both happy with.

Couples that live together but aren’t married or in a civil partnership don’t have the same legal rights as married couples.

So, if you aren’t ready to get married just yet, or you don’t ever plan to, a cohabitation agreement will help protect your financial interests and assets in case you break up in the future.

Divorce or the dissolution of a civil partnership isn’t easy. But our experienced team of specialist divorce and civil partnership solicitors will be there to guide you through the process, providing professional, cost-effective advice, with care and sensitivity.

We’ll help you with every aspect of ending your relationship, including dealing with your finances and assets, and making arrangements for your children. We always go to every length to help you avoid costly, stressful, and time-consuming court visits. And, if that isn’t possible, we’ll be there to help you take the next steps.

If you’re preparing to adopt a child, our experienced, specialist adoption solicitors will guide you through the legal side of the process. We’ll handle your adoption application with sensitivity, discretion, and care, keeping you fully updated every step of the way.

Anyone can find themselves in a complex parenting situation – for LGBTQIA people, this can often mean having children from a former relationship.

Drawing up a formal parenting agreement will help ensure everyone is clear on their role and responsibilities, as well as their rights. This will make the process easier for both parents, while also creating a stable environment for the children. Our experienced team will create an agreement that works for all parties.

If you’re planning on having a child with the help of a surrogate or sperm donor, it’s important that a clear legal agreement is in place to avoid any issues further down the line. We can help you draw up an agreement that works for everyone involved.

When relationships end, emotions and tensions run high. With the help of mediation, you and your partner may be able to reach agreements and resolve the situation, without needing to go to court.

Our trained, experienced mediators will support both parties as your discuss your issues and work to resolve any areas of conflict.
