Top 10 of our proudest achievements

1. Outstanding Client Service

We always guarantee our clients exceptional standards of service and have been awarded the Law Society’s Lexcel accreditation every year since we were first established. This recognises our excellence in practice management and client care.

2. Outstanding Client Care

Gilva Tisshaw founded the practice on an ethos of care, and our team all share a commitment to treat clients as individuals with levels of compassion and understanding, often lacking elsewhere.

3. Specialists in Family Law

Unlike other legal firms, we only work in family law, meaning we have a wealth of experience and legal expertise to draw upon. The depth and breadth of our experience means we can represent clients with a broad range of assets, from those with small budgets, right through to those with significant financial assets and properties abroad.

4. Committed to Non-Court Resolution of Family Breakdown

Going to court is stressful, costly and time consuming, so we always offer clients alternative ways to resolve their issues, including mediation, collaborative law, and arbitration.

5. High Levels of Personal & Professional Recommendations

We are proud that much of our work comes through personal recommendation from both past and existing clients, along with those working in the legal profession.

6. Ranked in the top 500 UK law firms

We have retained our ranking as one of the UK’s top 500 law firms 2022 by The Legal 500, an assessment based on independent research and feedback from both clients and the legal profession.

7. London Service with Local Prices

While clients receive the service and expertise of a larger London firm, we keep our fees highly competitive, offering an initial no-obligation one-hour consultation for a fixed fee of £50 (incl. VAT).

8. Local Expertise

Gilva has worked in Haywards Heath since 1996 and the team all have a thorough knowledge of the local area, the local housing market and schools, so we can negotiate your divorce from a position of strength.

9. Proud to be inclusive

We have experience in dealing with the planning of families, surrogacy, and co-parenting law, particularly within the LGBTQ+ community, meaning the team can help the widest range of clients possible.

10. Proud to be Community-Minded

We are active members of the local community and support many local charities, including rewarding local Community Champions for their tireless work helping others and Time 4 Children, our Charity of the Year.

If you would like any advice on separation or divorce, we offer an initial no obligation consultation for £50 (incl. VAT) for up to one hour, where you can chat to a family lawyer about the impact divorce and separation may have on your specific circumstances.
