Family matters can be stressful, especially for emergency service workers with demanding
schedules.

Our family law team provides tailored support for divorce, child arrangements and financial
settlements, with special consideration for frontline workers’ commitments.

We aim to offer affordable, practical advice and reduced fees for Blue Light Card holders.

Protecting your family and affairs is important.

We provide Will-writing services for NHS employees, probate assistance, estate planning
and Lasting Power of Attorney services with discounts available to Blue Light Card holders.

Employment law advice for frontline workers
