Family Law
With a combined experience of 160 years and a team of 15 specialist family lawyers, we are well regarded and respected amongst other family lawyers, the courts and related professionals.
Legal issues can arise when circumstances in your relationship or family life change. We believe that family law requires a rather different approach to many other areas of the law; the aggressive, adversarial approach can all too often inflame and prolong disputes which could otherwise have been resolved through conciliation and negotiation.
Minimising conflict
At Hanne & Co, we encourage communication rather than confrontation and we always consider the needs of the whole family, particularly the children. Whilst we will usually explore alternatives to litigation – mediation, for example – we recognise that some cases demand urgent court action and we will not hesitate to go to court to defend and protect the interests of our clients.
Whatever the approach, we will deal with your case in a sensitive and professional manner – always remembering that we may be changing the course of people’s lives by the way in which we conduct our cases. Whilst representing your views, we will not shirk from giving forthright advice, however hard it may seem.
We pride ourselves on our high level of client care and communication. We will use plain English, we won’t leave you guessing and you will be kept fully appraised of developments in your case, of the various options at each stage and of the costs implications of different courses.
We have members on the key specialist panels: the Law Society Children Panel, the Family Panel and the Advanced Family Panel. We also have two Resolution accredited solicitors and solicitors trained in mediation and in Collaborative Law.
