Mediation
Find a positive way
forward, together.
Our unique approach puts you in
control and safeguards relationships
for the future.
We actively encourage our clients to consider Mediation,
Alternative Dispute Resolution and Collaborative Law
as a quick and cost effective way to reach a settlement,
together. It puts you in control, avoiding a decision being
imposed by a court, and will help maintain positive
relationships, be they business or personal. The aim of
our team is to achieve the best outcome for your family
or business, and we place fairness, transparency and
the aim of finding a practical settlement that preserves
relationships at the heart
of our service to you.
“I am
delighted
with the outcome
of my case and I would
not hesitate to use you
again. Professional, reliable,
knowledgeable and excellent
communications. Particular
thanks to Sybilla for all
her efforts”.
C. Howell, Grays

Family law
When a situation reaches breaking
point, quality legal advice is essential
to protect the ones you love, and
help you make the best decisions
for your family.
Our friendly team of resourceful Family Lawyers
take time to really listen to you, identifying
with you your priorities and understanding
your expectations. Working tirelessly, they are
experienced in providing advice and assistance
on all aspects of family law including children and
the settlement of arrangements for them, such as
where they will live and the time they will spend
with each parent, divorce, financial disputes,
injunctions and protection from harassment.
In addition, our team can also provide
expert advice on matters such as
grandparents rights, Social Services
intervention, Special Guardianship,
relocation and removal from the
jurisdiction cases.
“Thank
you for all the
work you and your staff
in the office have done and
the support….You have always
been very professional, prompt
and efficient in dealing with and
explaining any request I had. Your
patience and tenacity helped keep
this out of court at a time when it
seemed to be heading in
that direction”.

Wills and Probate
Do you have peace
of mind? Safeguard
your future and your
wishes with a little
careful planning.
Making a Will is one of the most important
steps you should take, regardless of your age
or financial circumstances.
Without it, your property and personal effects
may not go to the people you wish as intestacy
laws will dictate who receives what. In addition,
you can also use your Will as a means of reducing
potential inheritance tax and of giving your family
greater benefit at their time of need.
Our specialist Wills and Probate Department
can provide full advice and assistance on
Wills, Inheritance Tax Planning, Trusts, Power
of Attorney, Administration of Estates, Public
Guardianship Applications and payment of
fees to residential or rest homes.
“Estate Research
have worked together
with Lee Hibell for over
two years and have always
been impressed by the service,
diligence and dedication to all
probate matters. We would have
no hesitation in recommending
him to future clients”.

at stake, as well as providing advice on the

clients resolve a dispute before proceedings
are commenced.

how information was
conveyed quickly and in
an understandable format.
