Expert family legal advice provided by Ipswich’s leading solicitors

When it comes to family matters, often cases need compassionate and pragmatic advice, as emotions can run high following the breakdown of a relationship. Ellisons’ team of family solicitors can provide bespoke family advice, with minimal jargon, and guide you through the emotional and legal challenges that a separation can bring.

This is achieved in part through our membership to Resolution. All of our family solicitors are committed to achieving a constructive and amicable resolution to any family dispute that you may face. We always encourage ways of resolving matters through Non Court Dispute Resolution, such a mediation, Collaborative Law and Resolution Together (where one of our trained solicitors can act for both parties in specific circumstances). Court is often seen as the last resort.

Regardless of what point you are at in your separation, please contact our team of specialist family solicitors to discuss further. We offer a free exploratory call, in which you’ll discuss the details of your specific case. We will then be able to suggest the right person in our family team to work with you moving forward.
