The easily recognisable building is also situated within short walking distance of several bus stops. Horizon-dominating One Canada Square, once the UK's tallest buildings, was constructed as a symbol of regeneration; a sentiment that hasn't been lost on Crisp & Co, but rather incorporated in our ethos as we work hard to help clients emerge from a broken relationship with the best possible outcome and minimal emotional distress.

We focus on amicable resolutions, reducing stress in what can be a very stressful situation. Our service covers:

Our Family team have helped so many families over the years from all walks of like, with our expertise including LGBT+ divorce, international divorce, military and army divorce and high net worth divorce and dissolution.

We are also pioneers in ‘no-fault divorce’, a new approach to divorce and dissolution which allows couples to make an application without having to prove any reasons. This can reduce stress, eliminate the ‘blame game’ and help families focus on the most important things.

Separation solicitors

If divorce or dissolution is not right for you, our separation solicitors in Canary Wharf can help you cleanly separate from your partner without officially ending the relationship.

Separation may be right for you if:

  • You have religious, cultural or personal reasons against divorce.
  • You have been married for less than a year and cannot get a divorce yet.
  • You simply have not decided whether to divorce or dissolution yet.

We can help you enter into a Separation Agreement or ‘Deed of Separation’ to sort out financial and children-related matters while you are separated. We can also provide advice about Legal Separation (also known as Judicial Separation) where you separate with the assistance of the courts.

Relationship breakdown and cohabitation solicitors

Nowadays, most people live together before they get married or enter into a civil partnership. Many people are even choosing not to tie the knot at all.

However, unmarried couples do not have as many legal rights as married couples and civil partners. In the UK, there is no such thing as ‘common law marriage’, even if you have lived together for a very long time and have children. This means that if you break up, you have no automatic financial rights to your partners property.

So, it is important to protect yourself. Our specialist cohabitation solicitors in Canary Wharf can provide advice about entering into a Cohabitation Agreement (also known as a Living Together Agreement) which sets out things like:

  • ‘Who owns what’ in your relationship.
  • How you will manage your finances, such as paying bills and maintaining debts.
  • How your assets should be divided if you ever break up.

We can also help people who are going through a breakup with their partner, including reviewing and advising on existing cohabitation agreements, negotiating division of assets, making property claims and resolving issues involving children.

Financial settlements

Financial arrangements upon divorce, dissolution or separation is often what causes the most conflict between separating partners. Having a legal specialist on side can help you achieve the settlement you need to move forwards in financial security while reducing stress.
