The members of the Ancillary Relief Law Group at St. Ive's Chambers are aware of the unique problems faced by parties to financial provision cases, and the role that mishandled litigation can have in further complicating matters and generating unnecessary costs.

We have extensive experience of all types of ancillary relief cases from "big money cases" to more modest asset cases. We are experienced in cases involving foreign elements, pensions and dissipation of assets, financial provision for children and all aspects of financial provision following the breakdown of a marriage.

Members of the group can provide:

• A friendly and approachable manner towards both professional and lay clients

• A positive, constructive approach to cases

• A determined commitment to achieving the best possible results

We are committed to provide our professional and lay clients with the urgent meeting of court deadlines and to meeting dates for the return of paperwork, where these have been agreed. Chambers can provide documents in a variety of applications, chronologies, schedules, calculations and summaries in order to present cases effectively.

The range of age and experience within out team ensures that we are able to match our professional clients to the most suitable barrister. Several members of the team are listed as Leading Juniors in the Chambers & Partners Directory. Several members of the group also sit as Deputy High Court Judges, Recorders and Deputy District Judges.

We also have extensive experience of cases involving:

• Financial provision for the children of unmarried couples

• Property disputes between cohabitants

• Inheritance disputes

St. Ives Chambers are striving towards the Legal Services Commission provisional contract.
We regularly arrange seminars in Birmingham and surrounding areas on a range of topics and have CPD accreditation. We are happy to jointly organise such events with instructing solicitors.
