We are divorce lawyers specialising exclusively in English family law including divorce, separation, cohabitation and most related issues - particularly children and money. We realise that these are sensitive issues: we try to handle them in a sympathetic, civilised and positive manner and by advising clearly and acting firmly and decisively to resolve them, if possible by agreement.

We are based in London and mainly handle cases in Central and Greater London (including in the Principal Registry of the Family Division of the High Court ). If you live or work in, or close to, London we may be able to act for you even if proceedings are taking place in some other part of England or Wales. We may also be able to assist if you live abroad. We have experience of international divorce cases where there may be some connection with England, but we do not give advice about the laws of other countries.

The firm was established in 1991 by David du Pré a former barrister who was admitted as a Solicitor of the Supreme Court of England and Wales in 1980. He is a member of Resolution (formerly the Solicitors Family Law Association), and the International Society of Family Law. Overall he has more than 30 years experience of divorce work. His associate Gaye Osborne, who also has considerable experience of divorce work, was admitted as a solicitor in 1982 and is a member of Resolution and the Law Society's Family Lawyers Panel.

We have a broad client base but we are not in a position to represent publicly funded clients: however, we believe that our charges are competitive and and we have a reduced fee for the first hour's advice without obligation to instruct us to represent you.

Generally we only give advice over the telephone or Internet to existing clients. Where possible, we usually suggest a preliminary meeting. For more information or to make an appointment please cotact us by telephone or by clicking on "Contact Response Form" above and completing our internet enqury form or by clicking on "Email" and sending us an email.
