How we can help

Whether you are planning to live with your partner or are already doing so, we can help you safeguard your legal rights and interests. We can draft and review cohabitation agreements that set out how you will manage your finances, property, and other assets during your relationship and in case of separation. We can also advise you on how to protect your share of the property you live in or own with your partner, and how to make a claim for a fair share if you separate. If you have children with your partner, we can help you secure appropriate financial provision for them, as well as deal with any issues regarding parental responsibility, residence, and contact.
