The Ribet Myles way
Divorce and separation can feel overwhelming. We’re here to guide you with clarity, care, and a tailored approach that puts your needs first. From the start, we’ll be honest about your options and work closely with you to achieve the best outcome.
HOW WE DO IT
Finding the Right Solution
Most cases can be resolved through negotiation, without going to court. If litigation becomes necessary, you’ll have an experienced team on your side with a strong track record in high-profile cases. We also use mediation and arbitration where possible, to reach fair agreements quickly and with less stress.
Trusted Connections
We work with leading family law barristers and trusted advisors in the UK and abroad. Whether your case involves international issues, family trusts, or business interests, we’ll bring together the right people to support you.
Divorce, relationship breakdown and other family issues are often upsetting and stressful.
It is frequently a time of substantial upheaval and you are likely be worried about what the future holds both for you and your family.
Our empathetic and personal touch means that we will identify the issues that matter to you at the outset. We will then ensure that your case will be carefully looked after with a bespoke approach.
We will always try to be realistic in the advice that we give you and to manage your expectations from the outset so that you understand from the outset what is and is not likely to be realistically achievable.
You and your chosen solicitor will quickly establish a close working relationship. This will ensure that having ascertained what you would like to achieve we can then agree a strategy to ensure that those objectives are achieved.
-
We know that litigation is not right for each case.
We will negotiate where we can or propose other forms of non-Court dispute resolution to reach a mutually agreed settlement quickly and with minimum acrimony.
We will always work hard to bring about a negotiated settlement and to avoid you becoming involved in long-running court proceedings - unless that is the only way to achieve a fair outcome.
We will not litigate unless necessary. As a result of our approach the vast majority of our cases result in an early negotiated settlement outside Court.
However, there are a small proportion of cases that, despite everybody’s best efforts, cannot be settled and need Court intervention.
If your case falls into that category you can have peace of mind knowing that if your case cannot be settled through negotiation outside Court, we know how to litigate forcefully and expertly.
Our team of expert specialist family law solicitors have been involved in many of the recent leading reported cases that have had a significant impact on the development of English Family Law.
