Family Law

At Ellis-Fermor & Negus, we not only offer professional support but also a sensitive, personal approach towards you and your needs. Wherever possible we try to resolve any dispute through constructive discussion and negotiation, in line with our membership of ‘Resolution – First for family law’ whose philosophy is one of conciliation rather than litigation. However, if it becomes necessary to take your case to Court, you can rely on us to explain the procedures clearly and to provide you with all the support you need.

Our family law team comprises of a number of experienced fee earners and support staff.

The Head of the Family department has worked in family law for 14 years, having been qualified as a Solicitor for 11 years. The team has a further 3 fee earners, with their post qualification experience ranging from 8 to 29 years. They are supported by two Assistants, both of whom have worked in family law for many years.

Our family fee earners have experience in all aspects of family law including separation, Divorce, matrimonial finances, child arrangements and pre and post nuptial agreements. All of our fee earners are experienced in representing clients within Court proceedings, however we will always try and resolve matters outside of the Court arena if possible.
