we have halved the cost of our initial fixed fee interview to £45 including VAT for the month of September.

For 2011, a stunning 92% of the responses considered that their first initial fixed fee meeting with us was “very useful” with the balance referring to them being as “reasonably useful”. An impressive 82% of the responses considered that we had conducted their proceedings “very well” with the remainder stating “reasonably well”.

In an area of the law where communication with clients is so important, we were pleased to see that 91% of the responses referred to the person dealing with their case keeping them “very well” informed, with the remainder stating that our performance was “satisfactory”.

Perhaps it is as a result of these satisfaction levels that 86% of our clients said they would recommend us to a friend or family member.

This does not mean that we are in any way complacent as to the service we offer our clients. We are aware that no matter how specialist a practice we are or how long established, that you - the client - always have a choice.

"the Court should give effect to a Prenuptial Agreement that is freely entered into by each party with a full appreciation of its implications unless in the circumstances prevailing it would not be fair to hold the parties to their agreement".

This does not mean that the Courts will uphold every Prenuptial Agreement! There will be circumstances where the Court will consider that it is not fair to hold the parties to their agreement.

In general terms we expect to see that many more of our clients having an interest in discussing with us whether a Prenuptial Agreement might be appropriate for their circumstances.

Many commentators have criticised the Court's decision. It is ironic that the single Judge that dissented from the majority decision was the Judge with the most extensive family law background. What is really required is legislation and it appears that this might be forthcoming in the next year or two.
