Outcomes in family law depend on the specific circumstances of each case and the discretion of the court. You should obtain advice from a solicitor on your own situation before acting.
Where tax consequences arise on separation or divorce, you should obtain independent advice from your accountant or tax advisor and consult Revenue guidance. We do not provide tax advice.
In contentious business, a solicitor may not calculate fees or other charges as a percentage or proportion of any award or settlement.
