One of our amazing Trusted Partners Dr Charlotte Harkness has written a fantastic blog post for us this week on the subject of conversations with children when relationships break down.

Parenting, and its many facets!

Ever since I had been involved in a number of the seminal LGBT family cases, I wanted to have the legal firm that The Modern Family Law Company is. I had often talked about it but could not easily see how it could become a reality.

Well D-Day is here, The Modern Family Law Company is OPEN!! I’m so excited. We cannot wait to start positively changing the way legal services are delivered. 

I couldn’t be more proud to be working alongside Deborah, an outstanding lawyer of our time, somebody who I have personally learnt so much from and who never fails to inspire me. 

I can’t wait to start working with our clients to help them achieve their goals, safe in the knowledge that our Trusted Partners will be on hand to give pastoral care to ensure their mental wellbeing. 

To our future clients, we cant wait to work with you!

This is only the beginning...
