Experienced divorce solicitors in London
Divorce or the end of a civil partnership can be emotionally and financially overwhelming.
During this time, you’ll be faced with decisions that could have long-term consequences for your children, property, income and future security.
Our divorce solicitors in London are here to provide clear, specialist advice to help you make sure the decisions you make are the best ones for your circumstances.
Whether your separation is amicable or disputed, we focus on protecting your interests.
We act for individuals at every stage of the divorce process in England and Wales, from early separation advice through to final orders and financial settlements.
No-fault divorce
The no-fault divorce system was introduced in 2022 and allows couples to end a marriage without needing a reason or placing blame on either party.
This process is designed to reduce conflict and encourage a more constructive separation.
- Our divorce solicitors provide:
- Divorce application support from start to finish
- Single solicitor divorce services
- Advice on timelines, legal steps and court requirements
- Divorce financial settlement negotiations
- Child arrangement guidance after separation

Dissolution of civil partnerships
The dissolution process mirrors divorce, but for civil partners choosing to separate. It follows the no-fault system, so you do not need to prove wrongdoing.
We can guide you through the application process and help you reach fair financial or child arrangements.
If your circumstances are amicable, structured or already agreed, we can support an efficient and constructive resolution with our Single Solicitor Service.
We work towards fair and workable agreements wherever possible, but we can also represent you in court when necessary.
Amicable divorce options
Many couples want to separate without confrontation, extra expenses or unnecessary delay.
If both parties are willing to work together, our single solicitor service (SSS) may be a suitable option.
Under this approach, one impartial CLC solicitor guides you both through the legal issues and helps you reach an agreement that works for everyone.
It can be suitable if you have been through mediation and are in broad agreement over child arrangements and the distribution of assets.
However, this is not an appropriate solution where there are safeguarding concerns, domestic abuse or a significant imbalance of power.

Hear from our clients:
They’re good people to deal with. Despite the size of firm, I have been pleased that there is still a personal approach to what they do. Obviously it’s important for a solicitor to be professional and flexible and I’ve found that they are, but I’ve always thought that it’s very important that they’re friendly and easy to deal with as well.

Divorce and dissolution FAQs
Do I need my own solicitor for a divorce?
Not always. Some couples instruct separate solicitors for independent advice, while others choose our SSS approach where suitable. We can advise you on the best option.
How long does the divorce or dissolution process take?
There is no set timescale for divorce or dissolution. However, in England and Wales, the average duration is about seven to eight months. Delays often stem from financial arrangements, which we can help you prepare to avoid drawn-out proceedings.
Do I have to go to court to get a divorce?
Most people never attend court for divorce or dissolution proceedings. Agreements about finances and children can often be reached through discussion, mediation, negotiation or the SSS approach. However, some of the more complex cases will require court intervention.
Is the SSS approach right for us?
It can be effective for couples who want an amicable, cost-efficient approach and can work collaboratively. We can tell you at the first meeting whether it is suitable.
