When couples decide to separate, at WBW we appreciate that “one size does not fit all”
When couples decide to separate, at WBW we appreciate that “one size does not fit all” and we will try to help you to find the best way of dealing with what are often difficult issues.
At WBW we will always explain to you the various options available to you, both those which might be regarded as traditional, making use of the Courts or negotiating with other lawyers, or your former partner and those which are perhaps regarded as new and innovative, such as mediation and collaborative law.
Mediation is a process whereby an independent third party, the mediator, will meet with you and your partner and help to identify those issues which need to be resolved and help you to try and find a solution to them. Mediators are neutral and do not take sides in the dispute. WBW can offer the assistance of trained mediators.
WBW are also able to offer collaborative law. This is a process in which each person appoints their own collaborative lawyer and there are discussions to identify the issues and seek ways of resolving them in meetings working together, face to face to find solutions for your future arrangements. Having a lawyer present means that you have the benefit of legal advice and the aim of this type of process is to resolve the disputes without involving the Courts, except to approve your final agreement.

The service provided by Alexandra in our sale and purchase was outstanding. She is approachable and extremely professional and the level of communication throughout was amazing. We would definitely recommend her.
May I thank you for your very friendly attitude in our conversation and for the ultra-efficient way in which you dealt with the sale of our property. It was a pleasure to do business with you and I am sure that we will use WBW when the time comes to sell another property that we own.
Emma is compassionate, friendly and very professional. She helped me think through things I might not have considered or known about, and treated me with intelligence and respect. Thank you very much indeed to her.
Kathryn Boyes was friendly, efficient and professional. She dealt with our requests quickly, communicating effectively with expert understanding and knowledge and at times with wonderful patience and a great sense of humour. She always responded so quickly and was reassuring and calm throughout. I can’t say enough how much we value the service she gave us. I would highly recommend her to family and friends.
Kerry Hyland was most amiable. She listened to our needs and knew exactly how to deal with them. The same attitude remained through to a successful completion.
Alexandra did a good job in difficult circumstances. We were very happy with all the work that was carried out for us and will continue using WBW for our ongoing house purchases and sales.
Gisselle was very helpful and got it done for us. She and her colleague, Suzanne, were efficient and easy to speak to.
I have had the pleasure of working with James Edmonds at WBW, and in each case, the service has been outstanding.
Over the past five years, I have worked with James Edmonds at WBW on several employment matters. James has always been professional, knowledgeable, and highly responsive. He explains complex legal issues clearly and provides practical guidance that is easy to understand and act on. He is thorough, reliable, and approachable, which has given me confidence during challenging situations.
I would happily recommend James Edmonds to anyone seeking expert legal support for employment law matters. Thanks, James, for all your help and support.
I just wanted to thank you sincerely for all your kind assistance with my family matters this year.
As well as providing excellent and prompt service, you have done so with kindness and humanity.
I could not have asked for more in terms of your clarity at all times and being kept informed of the process throughout its entirety.
The whole team was helpful, ensuring progress was never delayed. A special thanks to Nichola Hedditch—she was our voice of reason during a difficult transaction and incredibly supportive. I have already recommended WBW to many others!
