Farrah assisted and guided me with a very swift and thorough pre-nuptial agreement. She identified every angle and ticked every box that I could think of plus a load that I couldn’t. If I hadn’t approached her via Birkett Long, then I wouldn’t be sleeping as soundly. Ten out of ten! Thanks so much Farrah.
I had a very positive experience using Shelley Cumbers at Birkett Long. I felt very confident that my best interests were being looked after but at the same time my personal wishes were taken into account. Shelley was always extremely kind and patient with me through this difficult process but at the same time very professional. I would highly recommend this firmIt was very reassuring to have Philip's professional opinion on our situation and the private agreements we had made, to ensure we had taken everything into consideration. His approach allowed me to obtain the order required whilst keeping the situation amicable.Phoebe was faultless. My situation was difficult and so emotional and from when we first met Phoebe she so compassionate and understanding, and for me this was so important. I struggle with detail and often find things overwhelming and Phoebe always helped to try and put my mind at ease.. Phoebe was very personable, friendly with a great personality and very down to earth, and she was also very professional. Phoebe went over and above what would be expected in her role, and not only was she was such a great solicitor, she was also a very, honest, caring and trusting person during what was the most difficult stage in my life. Phoebe is an asset to BL and I would highly recommend her for so many reasons.

In a divorce, assets are typically split through negotiation, mediation, or court order. The court considers many factors, including the length of the marriage, and the needs of the family to determine a fair division.
While debts acquired during the marriage may be shared equally, the court may assign responsibility based on various factors, such as who incurred the debt and who can afford to repay it.
Divorce settlements are agreements that outline the division of assets and financial support. They can be reached through negotiation, mediation or court order.
In a divorce settlement, you're entitled to a fair share of marital assets and may receive financial support if necessary. All of the circumstances of your situation will be relevant to the settlement you are entitled to and as such, this is likely to be different in every case.
Finances in a divorce are typically split based on needs, taking into account both spouses' financial positions.
Assets in a divorce should be divided fairly, considering factors such as needs and the welfare of any children involved.
Inheritance can affect a divorce settlement if it's mingled with marital assets, used for joint purposes during the marriage or if needs cannot be met without it.
Whether your spouse is entitled to your inheritance in a divorce depends on when it was received, how the inheritance was managed and used during the marriage, as well as other relevant factors considered by the court.
