A note from our Founding Partner, Anna Roberts.

Navigating a relationship breakdown is difficult and making sure you take all the right steps at the right time can seem impossible.

We want you to make the very best start in this process; to get ahead of important decisions early on, in the right frame of mind and armed with expert advice.

After years of working with people experiencing separation, we know how important it is to start the separation process in a strong, informed and clear-minded place – we call this making a Smart Start.

To make sure you make a Smart Start, we have developed our Smart Start Appointment – the clearest, fastest and smartest start to your separation journey.

We have also published our Smart Start Guide which contains information about our Smart Start Appointment and other useful Family Law information to help you through the early stages of your separation.

Best wishes as you make your fresh start.
