The Extra Pair of Eyes Your Legal Team Doesn’t Have

Even the most seasoned solicitors and £1000-per-hour barristers miss angles or misread a judge.
We audit your case strategy, paperwork, and evidence so no opportunity is left on the table — without adding “another lawyer” to the payroll.

Why a Second Opinion Pays Off

Family court is unpredictable. A single mis-framed submission can derail months of progress.
Here’s how we help:

  • We stress-test key submissions – Flag weak points and legal risks before court

  • We deep-read your file – Including SAR data, Cafcass notes, and bundle details to uncover game-changing information

  • We reduce counsel’s prep time – By offering pre-drafted alternative arguments your barrister can build on

  • We provide fresh insight – A fixed-fee review gives you the benefit of a third mind without the cost of a second lawyer

What You Get

  • Case-File Audit
    We review pleadings, orders, Cafcass reports, and evidence — table-to-table — and highlight contradictions, gaps, or weaknesses.

  • Written Strategy Memo (2–4 pages)
    Bullet-pointed suggestions, legal alternatives, procedural options, and risk alerts — in plain English.

  • Bundle & Exhibit Check
    We confirm page references, tab order, missing documents, and PD27A compliance.

  • Q&A Call with You (or Your Solicitor)
    60-minute walkthrough of our findings, including strategy clarification and next steps.

  • Optional Hearing Brief for Counsel
    A one-page “don’t miss” sheet with key questions, legal authorities, and exhibit references for your barrister.

When to Use This Service

  • Before a big hearing — to sanity-check your strategy

  • When your solicitor seems rushed or not fully focused on your child’s needs

  • After switching legal firms and needing a fresh perspective

  • When considering an appeal and needing to confirm the grounds
