Mediation allows both parties to discuss their concerns in a structured setting, with the guidance of a neutral mediator.

This method supports communication and reduces conflict, often helping to improve co-parenting relationships in the long term.

The Divorce process has now moved to a court portal, so it is possible for you to do this yourself, with Anthony Gold advising in the background if you need any help along the way. However, if you want us to do it for you, we can do this for £500 plus VAT and disbursements and will be conducted by a junior member of the team. This is for the divorce process itself and does not include any work necessary to agree financial or children issues.

We offer a fixed package for cohabitation agreements at £750.00 plus VAT. This is not suitable for all cases and fees will be tailored to your personal circumstances.

We recognise the importance of finding the right solicitor with the right expertise for you. We offer our first appointment at a reduced rate so we can meet and discuss options and provide written advice. There is no obligation beyond that fixed fee unless you wish to formally instruct us as your representative.

All work (not covered by a fixed fee arrangement detailed above) will be charged at the hourly rate for the experience level of solicitor instructed.  Full details of our hourly rates are available upon request. You will be provided with a detailed cost estimate at the start of your matter and you will be updated about this regularly.
