What a concert!
Shepherd Concert Band certainly put on a show and with Mike Pratt, MD & raconteur, he and the band kept an audience of 350 enthralled for a couple of hours by the riverside with their exiting programme.

You can watch the concert again via YouTube and there will be various clips shown here on the page during the week

We're proud supporters of the Wetherby Bandstand and this Sunday we're delighted to be sponsoring the performance by Shepherd Group Concert Brass.

There's something rather special about a summer afternoon by the river. Live music, children paddling, friends catching up, a picnic on the grass (or perhaps fish and chips!), and a community coming together to enjoy one of Wetherby's best-loved traditions.

Will you be joining us? Bring a chair, a picnic and your fingers crossed for a little sunshine! We'd love to see you there.

The right support during a divorce can make all the difference.

While we're here to guide you through the legal process, we also understand that separation affects every part of your life, not just the legal side.

Kate Robinson explains how helping clients access the right emotional and practical support can make the process feel more manageable. By ensuring you have the right people around you, we're able to focus on the legal aspects of your case while you receive the wider support you need. It can also help keep matters constructive, which may ultimately save time, stress and legal costs.

Our Family Team has built strong relationships with trusted professionals, including counsellors, therapists, family coaches and financial advisers, so we can help connect you with the support that's right for you and your family.

If you're going through a separation and would like compassionate legal advice, our Family Team is here to help.

One of the first questions we're asked is, "How much will my divorce cost?"

It's a completely understandable concern. If you're going through a separation, the last thing you want is the added worry of unexpected legal fees.

The cost of a divorce can vary depending on your individual circumstances. Alongside the legal process itself, there may be financial matters or arrangements for children to resolve, which can affect the time involved.

Because every family is different, it's not possible to give an exact cost estimate from the outset. We charge on an hourly rate, but we're always open and transparent about our fees.

That's why we offer a free one-hour initial meeting with one of our Family Lawyers. This gives us the opportunity to understand your situation, talk through the options available to you—whether that's negotiation, collaborative law or, where necessary, litigation—and provide you with a tailored estimate of the likely costs.

We'll also keep you updated on costs throughout your case, so you'll always know where you stand.

If you'd like to have a confidential conversation about your options, book a free initial meeting with Dianne, Kate or Katie. Our Family Law team is here to support you every step of the way..
