Family Law
At BBM we have a friendly, determined, robust and realistic Family Law team with expertise across all areas of family law. We have clients across Edinburgh, Glasgow, the central belt, Perthshire and throughout the Highlands and Islands. We can help you through a distressing time in an accessible, discreet and pragmatic way. Our team focus on listening to our clients and offering practical, commercial solutions, even in the most contentious and high value cases. We have wide experience litigating in both the Sheriff Court and Court of Session. We excel in providing not only legal advice, but tactical advice even in the most difficult of circumstances. Where clients cannot attend our offices physically due to busy work commitments or geographical location, we can offer most meetings online or by telephone.
We regularly advise on all aspects of Family law, such as child contact disputes, grandparents rights matters, financial provision on divorce/ dissolution of civil partnerships, cohabitation, the children hearing system and pre/ post nuptial agreements.
Our team pride themselves on being practical, focused and approachable solicitors who each have considerable experience in their own right. We are involved in all types of dispute resolution, and appear regularly at Sheriff Court hearings as well as instructing Counsel in Court of Session matters. We often involve Counsel (an Advocate) in high value matters or cases that are complex to add value for our clients. BBM focus on an integrated approach and work with other legal, financial and tax advisors to act strategically and solve the problems that most effect the lives of our clients and their families.
