What Family Law does

Family Law Group operates as FLG Limited, a private limited company registered in England (Company No 5534212), specialising exclusively in family law and family law adjacent matters. The firm was established in 2003 in Nottingham and has grown to 13 offices across the East Midlands and South of England, covering Nottingham (headquarters), Chesterfield, Derby, Loughborough, Leicester, Milton Keynes, Northampton, Wellingborough, Bedford, Cambridge, Bury St Edmunds, Peterborough and Watford.

The firm's service portfolio spans six core practice areas: Relationship Breakdown (divorce, civil partnerships, separation), Care and Social Services (care proceedings, adoption, special guardianship), Children (child arrangements, parental responsibility), Relationship Finance (matrimonial finance, pensions, child maintenance), Domestic Abuse (injunctions, non-molestation orders, forced marriage protection) and Mediation (including MIAMS and Skype mediation). These are supported by two dedicated client-access channels — Family Law Direct (telephone advice line) and free drop-in Family Law Surgeries. The technology stack is conventional: a Webflow-hosted website, Google Analytics for traffic monitoring and standard legal practice case management systems; no proprietary AI or technology product was disclosed.

Family Law Group generates revenue through traditional professional services fees, combining hourly rates with fixed-fee arrangements wherever feasible, and serves both private paying clients and legally aided clients who qualify for government funding. The firm is structured as an Employee Ownership Trust, with a non-executive director (Jonathan Corbishley) and a board that includes a Director (Dan Cooper), a Non-Executive Director (Raj Chahal) and EOT Trustee Director / Head of Marketing (Sam Redsull). Client acquisition relies on professional network referrals through Resolution and Law Society membership visibility, community and charity engagement (including domestic abuse refuges, Women's Aid, MK Dons SET, Cambridge Child Contact Centre), Google Reviews and SEO-optimised educational content on the firm's news section.
