Off Setting is not a standard, separately recognised area of English family law. In practice, matters people may refer to as offsetting typically sit within the broader field of family finance and divorce work, including reviewing asset disclosures, valuing pensions or capital, and negotiating settlements or orders. A solicitor in this area would assess financial disclosures, draft or revise settlement or consent orders, advise on enforcement and variation, and liaise with the county court or Family Court when formal orders are required.

“Associate Emily Davies recently handled everything financial on my behalf for my divorce, and it would have been so much more stressful without her on my side. Things didn't always go smoothly, but Emily wasn't fazed by anything. Along with her colleagues, she kept me informed and involved at every step, she was there to answer every and any question, and the wider team at Stowe were all so friendly. Everyone I dealt with was professional, empathetic and always helpful. I felt that they were acting in my best interests, and everything always seemed under control. I wanted the financial documents to be done fairly and properly, and I couldn't be happier with how things have turned out. Thank you, Emily and team!”

“Excellent and professional service. Mrs Alicia Nesham helped us with our LP of Attorney explaining all aspects in a clear, understandable and personable way. Also contacted our previous solicitors and went beyond what could have been expected without being asked, very impressed with the service given. ”

“After an incredibly difficult three-year divorce process, I have finally achieved a fair settlement, and I honestly do not believe I could have done it without Sara Rutter and Gillian Petty at Walker Foster Solicitors. From the very beginning, Sara was professional, calm, determined, and completely committed to achieving the best possible outcome for me. Despite every challenge put in the way, Sara remained focused, strategic, and relentless in pushing the case forward. Thanks to her expertise, persistence, and support, my divorce has now been finalised & I have received a fair settlement. More importantly, she helped me stay grounded and confident during one of the most difficult periods of my life. I cannot recommend Sara Rutter, Gillian Petty and Walker Foster Solicitors highly enough to anyone facing complex or high-conflict family proceedings. Their professionalism, integrity, and dedication truly made all the difference.”

“Anna Bell provided excellent advice and supportive guidance to help me through a Divorce and Financial settlement. While there was a fundamental intention between the parties to reach agreement without resorting to legal adjudication, there is always the potential for things to derail. Anna's advice on how best to support our mutual objective was well judged, respected the interests of both parties and always supportive. Anna always respected my judgement on the best way to achieve that outcome which called for a patient approach on her part. She was a great listener.”

“Highly recommended. I switched law firms mid divorce and Laura took my case and injected it with some energy and we finally settled. Her work ethic is second to none and everything she said she'd do, she did. Her no nonsense approach matched mine perfectly and together we got a great result. Ably supported by Freddie who is already turning into a great family lawyer. Thanks Laura!”

“I am very pleased to have found Katie as my solicitor. From the start I found her very easy to talk to, she listened very attentively and I felt she thoroughly understood my situation without judgement. Her legal knowledge was excellent and she managed my expectations from the start, always providing me with a balanced view. Her experience also showed through her insight and other wider (not specifically legal) knowledge and advice. She was an excellent advocate for me in court - calm, confident and not flustered by challenges. She was also very good at being able to recommend the right barristers and other professionals when needed. Communication was always very fast, and if she wasn't available there was another member of the team who knew my case and was available to me. Overall I was very impressed by Katie's ability to keep things on track and focus on getting to a resolution - she diffused potential issues with her rational and amenable nature and pragmatic approach. She had many methods to avoid conflict and try to resolve things out of court, but she was also sensible and didn't use costs on avenues that were proving to be pointless. My overall impression of Hartlaw is that it is a big enough firm to have all the legal knowledge and experience needed, but small enough to feel as though they all know and care about their clients.”
