Divorce & Family Law

The breakdown of a relationship is a stressful and traumatic time.  You need someone to be at your side, dispensing sympathetic but pragmatic advice, protecting you and your family and guiding you through the complex issues that separation and divorce inevitably bring, whether it be arrangements for your children or the financial implications.

We have experience in resolving all manner of relationship breakdown cases, both in the UAE and the UK.  For couples that have different nationalities or are resident in more than one country, the right of choice of jurisdiction can have a major impact on a divorce settlement. Seeking our advice promptly is often vital to secure the best choice of jurisdiction.

When it comes to protecting your assets, we work closely with our in-house experts in the firm’s private client team to advise you on the financial implications of marriage and the ways in which you can protect your existing wealth and wealth acquired during marriage, thus avoiding costly mistakes.
