Expert support and representation for clients in all areas of family law.
Our family law solicitors offer a comprehensive and confidential service. We have a reputation for attaining the correct balance between robustly representing clients and using a conciliatory approach to negotiate settlements. We are mindful of cost effectiveness in light of the result to be achieved. We achieve a significant number of settlements. If court proceedings become necessary we focus on the areas which still require agreement and resolution, ensuring that costs and contentious issues are kept to a minimum. Our solicitors are highly experienced in advocacy, providing personal representation in all of the courts, from the District and Circuit Courts to the High Court.
SERVICES
We consider all aspects of a matrimonial dispute such as property prices, tax implications of the different types of settlements, employment and business prospects, children, pensions, shares and savings. We also advise on provisions for the future in terms of life insurance to secure financial settlements after the death of a spouse, wills and succession rights for a spouse and children and future changes in financial circumstances.
We also advise upon foreign divorces, their recognition in Ireland, the enforceability of any financial settlements, and the possibility of financial relief applications being made in Ireland.
