Specialist International Divorce and Family Law firm based in central London UK (Address: 23 Bedford Row, London WC1R 4EB England UK Telephone us now : + 44 (0)20 7430 1950 )

We advise parties who live outside England but who still have a substantial connection with England and are contemplating divorce or need advice about where to start the proceedings or who may have received an English divorce petition. We also handle cases where one or both parties live in England. We frequently deal with complex or unusual disputes involving foreign jurisdictions where there is an English connection, such as where property or other assets are held in England.

Our hourly rates for the services of our experienced senior solicitors are considerably less than those charged by solicitors of similar status and experience in most other central London law firms. That is because we are a small niche practice, which has the additional advantage that we are able to provide a personal and confidential service to each of our clients.

Phone us now on +44 (0)20 7430 1950 for more information, including our reduced fixed fee for an initial consultation which, by arrangement in advance, can be over the telephone if personal attendance at our office is inconvenient. Or send us an email setting out your request.

The firm was established in 1991 by David du Pré who was admitted as a Solicitor in England and Wales in 1980. He is a member of the International Society of Family Law, and of "Resolution" (formerly known as the Solicitors Family Law Association). Overall he has more than 40 years practical experience of divorce law. During this time he has been involved in many demanding, and often complex, or unusual cases.Through this, he has developed many useful contacts in the field of matrimonial law. He is assisted by his Associate, Gaye Osborne, who is also a very experienced divorce lawyer. She was admitted as a solicitor in 1982 and is also a member of "Resolution" and of the Law Society of England and Wales' Family Lawyers panel. The firm was among the first to operate as a "niche" specialist divorce practice concentrating exclusively on Divorce and Family Law and we believe that our clients welcome the "one to one" personal and confidential service and attention which this enables us to provide.

We have a broad range of clients but we do not undertake publicly funded (i.e. legal aid) cases. However, we believe that our charges are competitive, and compare very favourably with most other divorce specialist lawyers(of similar status, expertise and experience) in the centre of London, and we have a reduced fee for the first hour of advice without obligation to instruct us.

If you would like advice we usually suggest a preliminary meeting but if you live abroad we can usually have a brief initial telephone discussion with you by prior arrangement if a solicitor is not immediately available to speak to you.

If calling us on the telephone out of office hours, you may leave a voice message and we will try to call you back at the first convenient opportunity when our office next re-opens.
