What SML Law Offers and How to Get in Touch.

Sewell Mullings Logie has been based in Cirencester since 1797. Our offices are on Dollar Street, a short walk from the Market Place, and we act for individuals, families and businesses across Cirencester and the wider Cotswolds area.

We are not a national firm with a local office. We are a Cirencester firm, with a team that understands the particular character of the people, properties and businesses we work with. That local knowledge makes a genuine difference, whether it is handling a Cotswolds property transaction, advising a local farming family, or supporting a Cirencester business through a commercial dispute.

We regularly advise clients in Tetbury, Malmesbury, Fairford, Lechlade, Nailsworth, Stroud and Cheltenham, and can arrange home visits or remote consultations where needed.

Your business is an asset. But it is also more than that.

For business owners going through divorce, the stakes are considerably higher than for most. A company you've spent years building, a shareholding you've carefully structured, a business that employs staff and supports a family, these are not simply lines on a financial statement.

But in divorce proceedings, they will be treated as part of the matrimonial pot unless there are good reasons to argue otherwise. How your business is dealt with in a financial settlement can determine whether it survives intact, has to be restructured, or in the worst cases has to be sold.

Early, specialist advice makes a real difference.

If you are going into business with others, a well-drafted shareholder agreement can include provisions that limit a divorcing shareholder's ability to transfer shares to a spouse or third party. This protects all shareholders and helps keep control of the business where it belongs.

Similarly, if you own a business and are planning to marry, a pre-nuptial agreement is well worth considering. It doesn't guarantee a particular outcome in court, but it can carry significant weight.

We advise on both.

When the financial stakes are high, the right advice matters more.

Divorce is never straightforward. But when significant wealth is involved (property portfolios, business interests, inherited assets, investments, pension funds or international holdings) the process becomes considerably more complex.

Our Family Team has experience advising clients with substantial and varied assets. We understand the pressures that come with a high-value separation, and we work with the discretion and professionalism these situations require.

If you're entering a second marriage, have significant personal or inherited wealth, or own a business, a pre-nuptial agreement can be an important planning tool. We also advise on post-nuptial agreements for couples who didn't have one in place before marrying.

If a nuptial agreement already exists, we can advise on the weight it is likely to be given if it's ever tested in court.

Speak to our Family Team in confidence about your situation.

This is not a straightforward divorce.

For most couples, divorce means dividing a home, some savings, and perhaps a pension. For farming families, it can mean the potential break-up of a business that has been in the family for generations, the forced sale of land that carries deep personal and financial significance, and a dispute that affects not just the couple but parents, siblings, children and employees.

Agricultural divorce cases rarely involve only solicitors. We work closely with specialist agricultural valuers, accountants, tax advisers and independent financial advisers to make sure every aspect of the farm's financial position is properly understood before any settlement is agreed.

If you have a land agent or farm accountant you already trust, we're very happy to work alongside them.

The law has changed. Ending a marriage is now simpler and less confrontational.

A fairer way to divorce:
In April 2022, the biggest change to divorce law in England and Wales in over 50 years came into force. For the first time, couples can end their marriage without one person having to blame the other.

This is what's known as no-fault divorce, and it's changed things considerably for separating couples and the solicitors who support them.

Our Family Team can advise on financial claims alongside your divorce, or separately if needed. We work closely with Resolution, a national organisation committed to resolving family disputes constructively rather than through conflict.

Free Initial Consultation

We offer a free 30-minute consultation to anyone going through separation or divorce. It's a chance to understand your options, ask questions, and work out the best way forward for your situation. No pressure, just clear advice.

A situation no grandparent expects to face...

Most grandparents never imagine they will need a solicitor to see their grandchildren. But when a family breaks down, whether through divorce, separation, bereavement or family conflict, grandparents can find themselves shut out of their grandchildren's lives through no fault of their own.

It is a painful situation. And it is one that can be addressed through the courts, even though the process takes some time and determination.

Read more about this topic on our website.

We understand how raw and upsetting these situations are. Our Family Team will be honest with you about the process, realistic about timescales, and sensitive to the wider family dynamics at play.

We will always try to resolve matters without going to court if there is a realistic prospect of doing so. Court proceedings should be a last resort, not a first response.
