Did you know? 💡

Getting divorced doesn’t automatically sort out your finances.

A divorce legally ends the marriage, but financial matters such as the family home, savings, pensions and other assets need to be dealt with separately.

Even if you and your former partner have reached an agreement, it’s important to make sure the agreement is properly documented and legally binding.

Our family law team can advise you on your options and help you understand your position.

You don’t always have to go to court to resolve a family dispute.

If you’re separating, there may be different ways to resolve disagreements about finances, property or arrangements for your children.

Depending on your circumstances, negotiation, mediation or other forms of dispute resolution may help you reach an agreement without going through court proceedings.

Every family situation is different, and what works for one person may not be right for another.

Our family law team can advise you on your options and help you decide on the best way forward.

❌ MYTH: I have to accept whatever terms my employer offers in a settlement agreement.
✅ FACT: You do not have to accept the terms offered, and you must receive independent legal advice before signing the agreement for it to be binding.

Being offered a settlement agreement can leave you with a lot of questions. What am I agreeing to? Is the offer fair? What happens if I don't sign?

Before signing, you'll need to obtain independent legal advice. A solicitor can review the agreement with you, explain what the terms mean, and advise you on your position.

At PGS Law, we provide clear, practical advice so you understand exactly what you're agreeing to before making any decisions. We aim to make the process straightforward and efficient, dealing with matters promptly.

In many cases, your employer will contribute towards or cover the cost of your legal advice.

If you could recommend just one legal document for every adult to have, what would it be?

Many people would say a Will. Others might suggest a Lasting Power of Attorney.

In reality, the answer depends on your circumstances, your family, and your plans for the future. That's why there's no one-size-fits-all approach to legal planning.

Taking advice early can help you make informed decisions, protect what's important to you, and avoid unnecessary complications further down the line.

What makes a great solicitor?

For many of our clients, it's about more than legal expertise.

It's having someone who listens, explains things clearly, keeps you informed, and takes the time to understand your circumstances.

Since 1879, that’s the approach we take at PGS Law. It's why so many of our clients return to us over the years and recommend us to family and friends.
