We advise people who’ve lived together but never married, and now face disputes over property, money or assets. These cases are often complex and emotionally charged, and we are here to support you through the process.
Whether you’ve put more in than you’re getting out, need to sell a shared home, or feel you’ve been unfairly cut out, we’ll help you make sense of your rights and next steps. We also handle linked claims involving family loans, trust issues and shared business or renovation costs.
We’ll give you straight advice, fight your corner when needed, and work to get the best result.
How we work:
We make things clear, commercial and as cost-effective as possible:
- We’ll start with an honest conversation about what you’re trying to achieve and what’s at stake
- We’ll give you plain English advice and a realistic view of your options
- If litigation is needed, we’ll treat it as the serious legal dispute it is – with proper planning, evidence and strategy
- We keep fees under control with flexible billing and regular updates
- And because you’re dealing with a senior solicitor from the start, you get consistency and experience throughout
Areas we cover:
- Ownership disputes over a shared home
- Arguments over financial contributions or renovation costs
- Claims involving family loans or gifted money
- Trust and beneficial ownership disputes
- Issues with joint bank accounts or shared assets
- Cases involving second properties, shared businesses or other parties
- Early-stage advice, negotiation and settlement strategy
- Litigation and court representation where needed
Need more than cohabitation advice?
Cohabitation disputes often overlap with other legal issues. If your situation touches on any of these, we can bring in support when needed.
These can include:
What do we cost?
We take a flexible approach to our costs; and the fee structure of each instruction is case-specific.
We are more than happy to discuss our costs options on an informal basis.
