About us

We are a specialist and experienced team of divorce and family law solicitors with offices in both York and Leeds. Our principal office is an elegant building near the Minster in York, and for the benefit of our Leeds based clients we also enjoy the use of luxury offices at Calls Wharf in Leeds.

We recognise that the work we do is often life changing. We never lose sight of how important it is that our clients feel matters are resolved in a timely, fair and supportive way. We work to reduce stress and acrimony wherever possible allowing the future to be faced with both confidence and dignity.

The three specialist family lawyers in our team used to make up the major part of the Leeds family law team of one of the top ten legal firms in the country. All are members of Resolution, which is a national organisation of family law professionals.

Our Values, which we apply to all we do:

• We will listen carefully to your wishes and priorities
• We will deliver a service suited to your needs and those of your children
• We will strive to empower you to make informed decisions
• We will work to safeguard your interests and to ensure fair outcomes
• We will aim to reduce conflict and hostility wherever possible
• We will avoid protracted argument and promote co-operation between parents in relation to your children
• We will not litigate just for the sake of it
• We will ensure that you are expertly represented if court proceedings are needed

Please do have a look at the individual profiles for Nigel, Louise and Jane on our website above.

Notes about Disabled Access:
The building at Calls Wharf in Leeds affords full disabled access.

The building we occupy in York is listed. The ground floor is all on one level and has one small step up from the pavement of about 2 inches. If you are disabled or suffer from restricted mobility, you may arrange to be seen using the desk in our ground floor reception area which affords wheelchair access. The access to toilet facilities is restricted and is not suitable for those with restricted mobility.
