Your First Home: what is it and what does it mean for you as a First Time Buyer?

On 26 September the government announced Your First Home, a new equity loan scheme for first-time buyers in England.

Our Residential Property Partner, Gareth Fullbrook, shares insight from experience with new build and government schemes in the past.

Can individual employees be held personally liable for failing to make reasonable adjustments?

This was the key question that arose from a recent Employment Appeal Tribunal case, Ms C Merriman v (1) 1st Staff Ltd and Others.

Employers must ensure they have sufficient processes in place for reasonable adjustment requests, so what happens when the process isn't as simple?

The decision of the Tribunal and our Employment Solicitor, Charlie Keast's analysis of the case can be found here: https://ow.ly/iMgA50ZXAw4

Who Keeps the Dog?🐾

As pet ownership rises, so do disputes over who keeps the pets after a separation.

In the landmark case of Fi v Do, the court recognised the emotional bond between pets and their owners, marking a shift in how the law views pet custody.

While pets are still legally treated as property, there’s a growing movement advocating for their welfare to be prioritised in divorce proceedings.

What Can You Do?💡
If you’re facing a separation and want to ensure your pet’s well-being, consider drafting a Pet-Nup or including pet custody provisions in your cohabitation or prenuptial agreements. This can outline living arrangements and financial responsibilities, helping to avoid disputes down the line.

Need advice on how to protect your pet during a divorce? Our Family Law team is here to help! Contact us today for clear, practical guidance.

Is Family law like a TV drama? And does 'War' give Family lawyers a bad name?!🧐

Episode one of the Sky Atlantic's new family-law drama centres around an affair, with the wife setting out to prove her husband has been unfaithful.

We are introduced to the pre-nuptial agreement, with the tantalising suggestion that it may contain an “affair break clause”.

For the non-family lawyers watching, the programme quickly tells the viewer why the pre-nup might not be as watertight as certain people hoped it was.

The legal reality is, of course, rather more complicated — but this is television, not a training seminar!
