Litigation

Although this should be the mechanism of last resort, in some cases it is impossible to avoid court litigation. In this event, we are encouraged by the court process to take a practical approach and we will endeavour to assist you to reach a resolution with the help of a Judge at several stages before a Trial. We also have the option of appointing a Judge to give an indication as to what a likely settlement would be which can help with negotiations. We will prepare your case in readiness for these stages and a Trial ensuring that all the issues are covered and presented in the best way, whilst also looking for opportunities to reach a settlement wherever possible. As is usual in the UK system we would usually engage and introduce you to an experienced family law barrister as part of your team in order to add their specialist skills of advocacy and further independent analysis to give you the best possible representation. You would have the benefit of making decisions about your case after consultation with all of your team. We would work closely with your US attorney if there was also litigation there as well.
