Relationship breakdowns

RIAA Barker Gillette is a leading family law firm in Central and North London. It is our approach that stands us apart.

Marriage and relationship breakdowns are often stressful and emotionally charged. You need a legal partner who listens, is reassuring and works for and with you to reach a fair and amicable agreement regarding your financial affairs and child arrangements. The support you receive is as important as the advice given.

The team at RIAA Barker Gillette combines the legal insights you expect from an international law firm with the compassion and understanding you need.

We have expertise in marital agreements, divorce and financial settlements, cohabitation disputes and child arrangements.

We regularly deal with cases involving considerable wealth or complex assets and families with an international footprint. Where a family’s affairs involve business or property interests, our team draws upon the in-house dedicated private client, real estate and corporate teams’ expertise. In addition, our network of international offices provides local legal advice for families that need it.

We recognise the desire to settle cases where a relationship has broken down as quickly and amicably as possible and use negotiation and Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) methods where appropriate. Pippa is a member of Resolution and strives to comply with their Code of Practice. This approach keeps legal costs manageable and avoids unnecessary delays in concluding matters. Court proceedings should always be a last resort, but when needed, we have the expertise to manage court cases efficiently and effectively to their conclusion.

Divorce and relationship breakdowns are some of the most challenging life experiences. The need to listen and understand, to know when to act quickly and when to take time, is part of the unique approach at RIAA Barker Gillette.
