The team
Working alongside the partners
We introduce the team by department, so you know who you will be dealing with at each stage.
Clinical Psychology
Supports parents and children in separation cases, alongside the lawyer, if both parties agree.
Administration and Client Support
They answer when you call and keep the paperwork for each case in order.
Three stages
How your case is assigned
Few people ask, on the first call, who they will be dealing with from then on. This is what happens.
- 01
Who takes your call
The first contact goes through the administrative team. We note what the matter is, whether a deadline is running and whether you prefer to meet at the office or by video call. You get a reply within 24 working hours.
- 02
Who takes on the case
The case goes to the lawyer who handles that area of law. If it touches several areas, one lawyer is responsible for the case as a whole.
- 03
Who follows it through
The lawyer who accepts the case stays with it until the end. In family cases involving children, the lawyer can work with the clinical psychologist, if both parents agree.
