2. CLM Solicitors
Unfortunately, relationship breakdown is not always something that happens to other people and if it touches your life the effects can be devastating.
We have a dedicated Team of experienced Family Lawyers who can help you at this difficult time. All members of our Team belong to the Solicitors Family Law Association, a national organisation which recognises specialist family lawyers.
Drawing upon years of experience and training in this complex area of law, the members of our team aim to promote a constructive approach to resolving family and relationship disputes.
We also offer a Collaborative Family Law service. Collaborative Family Law is a new approach to separation and divorce. Specially trained family lawyers can now, for the first time in the UK, help families manage their separation in a more dignified and respectful way, without the threat or intervention of court proceedings. This new approach is described in more detail in our fact sheet.
With specialist representation from the outset, and by adopting a non-adversarial approach, we find that the majority of our cases can be resolved by negotiation. We aim to provide a first class service to our clients, and based upon this reputation, we find that most new clients who visit us for the first time come as a result of a personal recommendation.
Collaborative family law is a new approach to separation and divorce, established by specialist family lawyers from all across the world. Specially trained family lawyers can now, for the first time in the UK, help families manage their separation in a more dignified and respectfully way.
Collaborative Lawyers are trained to have a completely different state of mind about what their job is than Lawyers generally bring to their work. Traditionally, lawyers are trained with the objective of get the best result for their client alone. Where families are concerned however, much more is at stake then the immediate consequence of getting the best or biggest settlement. The personal and emotional costs together with wider family implications can be just as, if not more important, than getting the ?best? deal.

3. Blandy & Blandy Solicitors
Our Family Law Department is respected as one of the leaders in it's field and each of its members belongs to Resolution, (formerly known as the SFLA), which encourages agreement rather than unnecessary confrontation.
The Legal 500 consistently lists the Head of Department, Andrew Don, as one of the leading practitioners in the country, praising his "positive, sensible and settlement orientated approach"; and the department is one of the top listed firms in the South East. The department is also one of only two leading Thames Valley Family Departments listed in Chambers Guide to the Legal Profession.
It is always important to obtain expert legal advice on the separation, divorce or breakdown of longstanding relationships, as people are especially vulnerable and may be worried about their long-term financial security.
Couples in Berkshire, Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire are being offered a new way to divorce.
Local solicitors are pioneering a new approach, Collaborative Law, which helps reduce the emotional cost on couples and their children when families split. Collaborative Law is built upon mutual problem solving. Both parties and their lawyers pledge to work together to negotiate an agreement without going to court. If an agreement cannot be reached, and court is seen as the only solution, the lawyers involved cannot act for either party in the subsequent court case. This means that everyone involved (including the lawyers!) have an incentive to settle the case.

6. Field Seymour Parkes - Solicitors
When problems arise at the end of relationships or in times of family crisis, a non-aggressive approach is always preferable. We are committed to dealing with matters in a constructive way in which the negative effects of the situation are kept to a minimum for all concerned.
We hold a contract with the Legal Services Commission (formerly the Legal Aid Board) and will assess each individual's eligibility for public funding. We have solicitors who are members of Resolution, formally the Solicitors Family Law Association and the Law Society's Children Panel and the Family Law Panel.
In an often over-complicated world, our philosophy is simple and captured by our core values. Alongside commitment and enthusiasm, the hallmark of our practice is the way in which we put the client at the centre of everything we do and bring clarity even to the most complex solutions.
The commitment we make to our clients is formally laid out in our service standard document and the fact that we are both Investor in People accredited and have held the Law Society's Practice Management Standard (LEXCEL) continuously for 4 years, having been one of the first firms in the Thames Valley to attain the accreditation, is evidence of our client focus.

The breakdown of a relationship can be one of the most traumatic events in a person?s life.

As members of Resolution (formerly The Solicitors Family Law Association), we encourage a civilised and constructive approach to resolving legal problems arising from a relationship breakdown. In doing so, we offer you a determined commitment to achieving the best possible settlement that keeps the emotional and financial cost to a minimum.
