Expert Legal Advice for LGBTQ+ Individuals, Couples and Modern Families

Our Private Client team provide expert legal advice to LGBTQ+ individuals, couples and modern families across a wide range of personal legal matters. From making a will to buying a home together, planning for your family’s future or protecting assets, we offer practical, sensitive and inclusive advice tailored to your needs.

We understand that families come in many forms. Our lawyers work with LGBTQ+ individuals, same-sex couples, civil partners, cohabiting couples, blended families, parents, guardians and extended family structures, providing the same unrivalled service that all of our clients have come to expect.

How can our Private Client Lawyers help you?

We know that every individual, couple or family has their own circumstances, priorities and future plans. Our Private Client Lawyers advise LGBTQ+ and modern families on a wide range of legal matters including wills, estate planning and trusts, capacity and future planning arrangements, residential property transactions and family and matrimonial matters. We take the time to understand what matters most to you before providing specialist advice and guidance for life’s legal journey.

A connected approach

We maintain strong relationships with other professionals, including accountants and financial advisers, as well as specialists from other departments within our firm who can advise you on wider issues such as partnership and corporate matters if you are a business owner, and on disputes about trusts and estates on the rare occasions that they arise. Our connected approach enables you to make informed decisions and achieve positive outcomes.

Supporting Modern Families at Every Stage

Family structures continue to evolve, and planning for your future has never been more important. Whether you are buying a home together, getting married, entering into a civil partnership, or separating, our role is to advise you of the available safeguards and to formalise practical arrangements that reflect your wishes, protect family wealth, and support the people who matter most to you.

We understand that modern family structures can give rise to unique considerations when planning for the future. Our Private Client Lawyers advise on estate planning arrangements for blended families, including children from previous relationships, adopted children, foster children and children born through surrogacy, and chosen family members and loved ones. We help clients put in place arrangements that clearly reflect their personal circumstances and their wishes.

Property Lawyers with a local focus

Whether you are buying, selling or transferring property, our residential property lawyers ensure that you are well-informed throughout the transaction and provide clear, expert advice from instruction through to completion.

Our conveyancing solicitors will help you navigate the property market with ease, from buying and selling, transfer of ownership, mortgage assistance, to resolving title issues.
