Family and Matrimonial

Sinels can and does act for separating spouses. This often involves emotional, as well as legal, support – particularly if the only way to resolve the matter is through a formal Court process. Sinels understands and appreciates the stress and cost Court proceedings can take on the parties and where possible will seek to settle matters through negotiation and other forms of dispute resolution. Sinels has successful settled many of its matrimonial cases through negotiation, mediation and FDRs.

In most cases, the finances relative to the marriage are known.

Accordingly, applying the relevant principles that the Court will use to determine a fair split can be pretty precise enabling the parties to reach agreement. However, there are cases where the finances are not easily determined and the separating spouse with knowledge of their wealth may seek to keep such matters unknown. Sinels has experience in high-net-worth divorces and cases which involve hostile spouses and complex structures designed to obscure the separating spouse’s assets. Sinels, as a highly experienced commercial litigation firm with accounting and intelligence support, is well equipped to deal with these extreme cases.

For a straightforward divorce or dissolution of a civil partnership, where all other matters are agreed, Sinels offer a low fixed cost solution.
