One Couple, One Lawyer

Price: Fixed fee — confirmed after introductory fit check [TODO: publish price]

One Couple, One Lawyer means a single regulated family lawyer advises both of you jointly throughout your separation, instead of each instructing a separate solicitor — suited to couples who are broadly aligned and want to avoid an adversarial process.

What it is: One regulated lawyer, instructed by both of you together, advising you jointly through separation or divorce — on finances, children’s arrangements, or both.

Who it’s for: Couples who are broadly willing to be transparent with each other and want to avoid the cost and adversarial dynamic of two separate solicitors.

What it isn’t: Mediation (the lawyer gives legal advice, not neutral facilitation), or a substitute for separate representation where there’s real conflict or a power imbalance.

How it works: an Introductory Session assesses suitability, followed by joint sessions covering your specific situation, ending with documentation appropriate to your circumstances (e.g. a consent order for financial agreements).

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this legally regulated?

Yes — advice is given by a regulated family lawyer. [TODO: confirm exact regulatory body/wording, e.g. SRA.]

What happens if a conflict of interest arises partway through?

Joint advice stops, and you'd be referred to separate solicitors — this safeguard is built into the process.

Why fixed-fee divorce advice costs what it does

Quick answers

If we change our minds during the process and don't want to continue, what happens to any fees we have paid?
Our fees are paid stage-by-stage, which means you do not pay for stages you have not reached and can stop the process at any time. The £200 Introductory Session fee is non-refundable once used, since it covers those sessions specifically, but it's deducted from your total fee if you proceed further. There's also a 14-day cooling-off period at the start of instructing us, provided no work has been done in that window.
Is mediation cheaper than joint legal advice?
Often yes on a per-session basis, but mediation alone doesn't give you legal advice — you may still need a lawyer to make any agreement legally binding. Many couples find the combined cost of mediation plus an introductory Advice Session compares well against two separate solicitors. [TODO: confirm comparative figures with pricing team.]
Does the fixed fee include court fees?
No — court fees (such as the divorce application fee, or the fee for submitting a consent order) sit outside the fixed fee for advice and are paid separately, at the rates the court sets. [TODO: confirm current court fee figures and whether we display them, since these change independently of our pricing.]
