History[edit]
Family Law in Partnership was established in 1995. The firm was the first law firm to bring together lawyers, mediators and family counsellors working together to resolve clients' relationship issues.[according to whom?]
Practice[edit]
The firm advises on all aspects of family law with particular emphasis on the resolution of issues arising from divorce and separation. Specialists regularly advise on cases involving financial complexity including those with an international element, hidden assets, family companies and trust structures. The firm advises and represents parents on issues concerning their children, particularly removal from the jurisdiction. Moreover, it works with cohabitants and civil partners on issues such as relationship and prenuptial agreements and the registration of civil partnerships. Two directors and two consultants are qualified family arbitrators. Mediation and counselling services are available to all clients.
The firm was instrumental in introducing the practice of collaborative family law to Europe and its lawyers are widely recognised as leaders in the field of collaborative law.[2] Consultant Gillian Bishop wrote the first practical handbook for clients divorcing collaboratively, "A Client's Guide to Collaborative Divorce – Putting Your Family First".
