Family

SM&B has extensive experience advising on all areas of family law: from prenuptial agreements, divorce and the breakup of civil partnerships and cohabiting couples - to financial disputes, or the problems over child contact and residence.

We act for many high profile individuals and celebrities and are accustomed to dealing with the attendant publicity and privacy issues.

SM&B also offer family mediation as an alternative method of dispute resolution, which gives couples an opportunity to reach agreements on issues like finances and matters relating to children, without having to resort to litigation.

The team is headed by Jane McDonagh and Anthony Burton.
