Family Law
Our specialist family law team offers prompt, cost effective and pragmatic advice to individuals and their advisers to mitigate the financial risks and the trauma that relationship breakdowns can create.
We assist families and those who advise on planning and structuring their affairs to handle the financial risks that relationship divisions can cause. We offer sensitive and comprehensive advice on separation, divorce, domestic partnership dissolution and on all of the financial land child issues that may arise. This includes a broad range of safeguards, including pre-nuptial, post-nuptial and cohabitation agreements.
We understand that unlike many other areas of litigation, parties involved in family disputes often need to maintain a relationship after a dispute has been resolved, so we promote and adopt collaborative and alternative dispute resolution solutions wherever appropriate. If litigation cannot be avoided, we have a reputation for representing our clients’ interests firmly and fairly in court.
Members of our team are part of the Co-parenting Mediation Council of Bermuda and the Collaborative Law Alliance of Bermuda.
When a divorce takes place involving one or both partners having substantial wealth, protecting finances, assets, properties and other international interests can be a complex process. In these cases we are well versed in working with HNWI’s, wealthy families and business owners to reach a favourable outcome to any divorce proceedings.
As a full service and integrated firm, we also work in partnership with our property, litigation and private client specialists to assist individuals and families involved in disputes.
