Top 10 of 4,157 law firms for Cohabiting Couples in Scotland, Family Law

Law firms ranked by client reviews

Cohabiting couples in England and Wales generally have no automatic right to a shared home or to a partner’s assets when the relationship ends. A solicitor can help with planning ahead through cohabitation agreements, or with disputes arising from living together, such as property ownership, housing matters, and parenting arrangements. They also advise on how to resolve financial claims where evidence supports a result based on trusts, implied terms, or contributions to the home. The practical work often involves drafting or reviewing agreements, advising on rights under property law, and representing clients in related negotiations.

What a solicitor handles in these matters

The work typically involves assessing how property is held or contributed to, identifying potential claims based on resulting or constructive trusts, and advising on how to protect interests through formal or informal agreements. It may also involve negotiating settlements or disputing ownership in disputes that arise from cohabitation, with reference to housing rights and family considerations.

Giles Dobson

Tagged solicitor Giles Dobson

I would like to express my deepest appreciation towards Martin Tolhurst and more specifically towards Mr. Dobson and all his administrative and legal associates who worked on my case. My case was about the relocation of my child away from the U.K.. It was extremely confrontational to the degree of utter polarisation – at times probing the limits of civility. However, Giles managed the case impeccably and thanks to his services I can know look forward into the future with the ‘glass half-full instead of half-empty’. I would like to draw attention specifically to his exemplary customer-calibrated ethos. When the time came and we had to make a choice, while he could easily keep ‘churning out’ legal costs, he leant on me more as a friend and less as a legal counsellor with the aim to bring about closure – which we did. I, along with my daughter, ‘owe’ him.

Tia Harrison

Tagged solicitor Tia Harrison

Tia recently assisted me with a particularly complicated and onerous legal situation. Time was of the essence, Tia's approach was professional, pragmatic and robust, always prompt and absolutely reliable with regard responding to myself and other parties involved. As previously stated we had little time however Tia's knowledge and expertise became very evident very quickly. The case was successful and I have no doubt that this was due not only to Tia's experience and capabilities but also down to her sincere approach, ability to listen and take the time to understand. I would engage again without a moment's hesitation and I cannot recommend to others more highly.

Vanessa Gillbanks

Tagged solicitor Vanessa Gillbanks

I found Vanessa Gillbanks extremely helpful and informative, using language that was easy to understand at a time that was very stressful to me. I would readily recommend this company. The charges were advised to me before I started any proceedings which of course was preferable as I was able to budget for these. I am completely happy to go back to Richard Nelson LLP for any future needs.
