Guiding families forward and protecting what matters.
Clear, practical support when you are dealing with a family law matter.
Additional capacity when your team needs an extra pair of hands.
Free 15-minute video call · Remote consultations across England & Wales
Every family matter carries its own weight — a house, a child's routine, a pension built over twenty years. Each area below is handled with that specificity in mind, not as a template.
Guidance through the divorce process, from the application to the final order, including no-fault divorce procedure.
Advice on child arrangements orders, contact and living arrangements disputes, and parental responsibility applications.
Non-molestation and occupation orders, and advice for those seeking or responding to protective injunctions.
Pre-nuptial and post-nuptial agreements, and cohabitation agreements for unmarried couples.
Support preparing for and working through mediation, where a negotiated route is the better fit than court.
Family cases rarely move in a straight line, but the shape below is the honest version of how a matter usually unfolds.
A free, confidential 15-minute video call to understand your situation, your priorities, and what outcome you are actually looking for — before any advice on strategy.
A written summary of your legal position, the realistic range of outcomes, and the routes available — negotiation, mediation, or court — with the trade-offs of each set out plainly.
Where a matter can be resolved without court, that is usually the faster and less costly route. I help you prepare your position, draft correspondence for you to send, and advise before mediation sessions.
Where a matter needs to go to court, I help you get ready for it — drafting the documents, explaining what to expect at each stage, and making sure you understand your case well enough to present it yourself with confidence.
Once an order or agreement is in place, I make sure you understand exactly what it means in practice — and remain available if circumstances change.
Family law costs are unpredictable enough already. You will always know the basis you are being charged on before any work begins, in writing.
A free 15-minute video call to understand your situation and confirm whether I am the right fit — no obligation to continue afterwards.
For clearly scoped work — drafting an agreement, advising on a single application — a fixed fee is quoted up front, agreed before work starts.
For matters that develop over time — negotiation, court proceedings — billing is hourly against an agreed estimate, with itemised invoices so you always know where costs stand.
GKB Legal works behind the scenes with law firms worldwide — including international boutique firms — taking on drafting and preparation work across all areas of law during busy periods — reviewed and signed off by you, under your supervision, on a task-by-task or ongoing basis.
Witness and position statements, chronologies, correspondence, and first drafts of documents — prepared to be reviewed and finalised by your team.
Bundle preparation, case summaries, and research memos on procedure or case law, so your fee-earners spend less time on groundwork.
Extra capacity during busy periods, staff leave, or caseload spikes — scaled up or down as needed, without a recruitment process.
Work taken on per instruction or on a standing arrangement, billed by task or by the hour — no employment overhead, no minimum commitment.
All work is carried out under your supervision and remains subject to your firm's professional judgement and sign-off. Confidentiality agreements and conflict checks are completed before any instruction begins. See how client and firm data is handled on the data protection & confidentiality page.

Send a single taskBarrister (non-practising) · Family Law Consultant
I work closely with clients during some of life's most difficult moments, giving clear, honest advice on divorce, children arrangements, non-molestation and occupation orders, and domestic abuse matters, rather than advice softened to sound reassuring. This has meant developing a calm approach in emotionally charged cases, alongside close attention to detail in both written advice and document drafting.
I trained as a barrister through the Bar Practice Course and hold an LLM from the University of Law, Birmingham. I now work as a non-practising barrister and family law consultant — I guide, draft, and advise, but as a consultancy rather than a firm of solicitors or barristers in independent practice, I do not take on cases as your representative or appear in court on your behalf.
GKB Legal is an all-women startup that has worked with clients across England and Wales, and with law firms further afield.
