Separation, Divorce and
Bereavement are widely recognised as being the most stressful and traumatic situations
that any person can face during their life. Every aspect of an individuals life and
personality - be they emotional, practical and psychological can come under intense
pressure and scrutiny. The consequences can cause enormous upheaval and dramatic and
fundamental changes to our lives. At such a time, there is an enormous need for specialist
and sensitive personal advice and professional help to guide an individual through the
hazards and pitfalls which they may face.
Simon Bennett started his practice
five years ago, moving from the London firm Mishcon De Reya. He recognised the need for a
client-centered firm, a firm that treated those in family difficulties with respect and
sensitivity. This practice is now a specialist family firm with a growing reputation for
quality advice in these situations. The firm now draws clients not only from the Thames
Valley and Home Counties, but also other parts of the United Kingdom and overseas. The
location of our head offices, so close to Central London, Heathrow, Gatwick and the major
cities of Oxford, Reading, Slough, High Wycombe and Swindon, make us ideally situated to
conduct cases quickly and efficiently. The addition of an e-mail address also enables us
to process queries and transfer information with speed and accuracy.
The firm currently has a team of
practising solicitors who have specialised in family law for many years, and have either
worked extensively in the local area, or have practised law in London. In addition, we
have a qualified Senior Legal Executive and train others in specific areas dealt with
daily within the firm. These include providing expert advice in separation, divorce
proceedings, childcare cases, abductions, care and negligence in addition to helping with
the preparation of wills, powers of attorney, probate and elderly tax and estate planning.
We have established a network of the best barristers specialising in this area of law,
both in London, major U.K. cities and abroad, and when needed, enlist the help of law
agents and representatives at the forefront of their profession.
Clients who contact us can expect
the utmost discretion and confidentiality concerning their affairs. Our team of specially
trained and selected support staff provide the highest level of care to our clients, many
of whom are worried and anxious. The firm understands that for all clients, consulting a
solicitor is a major step. We are concerned therefore to ensure that every individual is
dealt with sympathetically and sensitively. We are extremely proud of the level of
personal service which we provide.
Family law is a fast moving area of
expertise and we ensure therefore that we are involved in new developments and updating of
legal concepts and principles in our practice. We lead seminars in family law topics, and
contribute articles to national and legal periodicals concerning many varied aspects of
family law and maintain active membership of the Solicitors Family Law Association and
affiliated groups. |
