Understand Your Situation
Securing assets and property before or during a relationship. These agreements provide clarity on financial expectations should the relationship end.
Pre-nuptial and post-nuptial agreements allow couples to decide in advance how their assets should be divided. While not yet strictly binding in the UK, courts increasingly uphold them if they are fair and both parties had independent legal advice. For unmarried couples, Cohabitation Agreements are essential because 'common law marriage' does not exist in England and Wales; without one, partners have very few automatic rights to each other's property.
Legislation & Rights
A confidential consultation identifies which assets require protection and how a formal agreement can provide financial certainty for both parties.
Plan Your Defence
To be effective, these agreements must involve full financial disclosure and be signed well in advance of a wedding. They are particularly important for business owners or individuals with inherited wealth. Legal representation ensures that the document is drafted to the highest standards, making it more likely that a judge will respect the terms in the future. These agreements act as a practical roadmap to avoid expensive litigation later.
Defence & Evidence
Expert drafting ensures that the agreement is legally robust and reflects the specific financial intentions of the couple.
Legal Aid Availability
For many criminal matters, from police station interviews to Crown Court trials, public funding (Legal Aid) may be available to cover your legal costs.
Eligibility is determined by the seriousness of the case and, in some instances, a means assessment. Our team will conduct an immediate, confidential assessment of your eligibility to ensure that financial constraints do not stand in the way of a robust defence.
