Pre-nuptial and post-nuptial agreements provide clarity and protection for both parties — particularly where one or both partners have significant assets, business interests, or inherited wealth. Although not automatically binding in English law, a properly drafted agreement carries significant weight in divorce proceedings.

Book your free consultation — no obligation, no jargon. We'll assess your situation and explain your options clearly.
We draft a comprehensive agreement that fairly records each party's intentions — with full financial disclosure on both sides.
Both parties must receive independent legal advice. We co-ordinate this process to ensure the agreement is procedurally sound.
The agreement should be signed well before the wedding — we manage timing and execution to maximise its evidential weight.
Not automatically, but the Supreme Court in Radmacher v Granatino confirmed they carry significant weight if properly executed, with full disclosure, independent advice, and no unfairness.
Ideally at least 28 days before the wedding. Last-minute agreements are vulnerable to challenge on the grounds of duress.
