Dispute Resolution Specialists

Determining whether the English courts have jurisdiction to make orders concerning a family—whether in relation to divorce, finances or children—is often a complex matter.

This is always something that needs to be considered before making an application, whilst engaging in negotiations, or when responding to an application.

Jurisdictional issues need to be dealt with as quickly as possible, and it is important that you take advice from a specialist international lawyer. Our specialist solicitors will be able to advise you on the issue of jurisdiction before an application is made, or if you are the respondent, whether the jurisdiction needs to be challenged.

If you would like to discuss this matter with one of our specialist solicitors, please contact us to make an appointment.

Meet the team

I have dealt with Kelly Sharman and her colleagues over many years and have to say that the experience has been none other than pleasant and professional.

Client testimonial, Legal 500

Judge and Priestley are a long-standing and highly regarded firm for children cases. Any client could be confident of getting an excellent service from them.

Within the team there is real strength in depth and they now have real expertise in international children matters, supplemented by a network of international professional links, in particular with Spanish matters.

I would like to again say that I found your manner both courteous and professional, but above all very “human”, which as I told you is something that I have not really experienced over the past few years in my contact with other legal professionals.
