The award-winning family law team at Sintons is highly trusted, one of the most experienced, and a leading provider of family law related services in Newcastle upon Tyne and across the North of England. Specialising exclusively in complex family law matters, we advise upon all aspects including divorce, financial matters, children law issues, and nuptial agreements, both domestic and international in nature. While our main base is in Newcastle upon Tyne, our exceptional expertise and longstanding reputation mean we regularly work with clients nationwide, utilising our additional office spaces in Leeds, London, and York. Clients reach out to Sintons family team for expert advice and support when they need it most, and we work together to find quality, bespoke solutions.

Our dedicated, highly experienced team will work with you to choose the most suitable route forward for you and your family. We have considerable experience in fearlessly pursuing resolution via the court, when necessary, but we pride ourselves on carefully looking at all options and very often support clients with non-court based alternative dispute resolution processes to avoid the need for court proceedings.

Uniquely situated within a renowned full-service law firm we can ensure that our clients can obtain direct and immediate access to other areas of legal expertise which often prove crucial as part of the divorce or dissolution process.

Chambers and Partners note that our team is “extremely approachable and knowledgeable, with considerable experience in family law matters.” Our clients recognise our expertise and comment that our service is “exemplary; the solicitors were strong and knowledgeable leaders in their field of law.” Members of our team have been noted as the “Rolls-Royce of family law” and “adept at handling a wide variety of complex matrimonial finance mandates.”

For anything further, one of our specialists would be delighted to meet you to talk through your options and answer any questions. We usually meet clients for a 45-minute initial meeting as soon as practicable. Please contact us at any time.

The family team at Sintons are also heavily engaged in the legal community and regularly write articles on specialist family law issues. Our Head of Department, Scott Halliday, has been invited to speak at legal conferences, nationwide and internationally, and we regularly attend specialist training events to keep on top of all legal developments. Jo Scott, Senior Associate, hosts a hugely successful podcast, In Conversation with Jo Scott, inviting senior leaders in their field, in and outside of the legal world, to discuss their professional lives and experiences.

We also host a live Q&A session at 10.00am on the second Friday of each month via Teams. Please click here if you would like to submit an anonymous question. You can also view all of our recent news, blogs and podcasts here.
