Laytons Family

At Laytons we understand that family and matrimonial matters require more than just keen negotiating skills and technical excellence. We never lose sight of the real issues that are important to you, and work closely with you to achieve swift, practical and - wherever possible – amicable solutions. We have specialist knowledge of business and pension issues related to division of assets following divorce.

Legal 500 says; “Laytons advises on complex divorce and children issues and is developing a specialist practice in cohabitation disputes. Christine Barker heads the team.”

Chambers and Partners says; This firm fields a small but high-quality family team. It regularly acts for wealthy, high-profile individuals such as premiership footballers. Sources commend the partner-led, cost-effective service that it offers.

Client Service: "The whole group is genuinely committed to saving clients' costs."

Key Individuals: Christine Barker "has both good common sense and a real instinct for the right outcome." She is praised for her determined approach to high-value ancillary relief. Emma Gill is an impressive young associate, described by sources as "cost-conscious, organised and responsive."
