The International Family Law Group LLP

What The International Family Law Group LLP does

The International Family Law Group LLP (iFLG) is a London-based limited liability partnership (company number OC362777) founded in 2007, specialising in international family law. The firm operates from a single office at Octagon Point, 5 Cheapside, St Paul's, London, with 22 employees, and is authorised and regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA ID: 560727). It serves three target segments: international families with cross-border connections, high net worth individuals with global and complex assets, and families based in England and Wales.

The firm delivers four core practice areas: Separation & Divorce (jurisdiction/forum choice, foreign marriages and divorces, civil partnerships), Children (child relocation, Hague Convention abduction, surrogacy, cross-border enforcement), Finances (financial outcomes, foreign order enforcement, relationship agreements), and Family Mediation & Dispute Resolution (arbitration, mediation, early neutral evaluation, collaborative law). Technology is limited to third-party digital tools: a Settify-powered Personalised Online Induction and three online calculators (Divorce Settlement, Spousal Maintenance, Family Maintenance Indexation), alongside a 24/7 Abduction and Emergency Line.

The economic model is professional services fees on a time-and-materials or fixed-fee basis, with clients acquired through a single London office via direct phone, email, online enquiry, and WhatsApp, supported by content marketing, online calculators, and analyst rankings (Legal 500 2022-2024, Chambers UK 2024-2025, Law Society Excellence Awards 2019). Distribution is augmented by a mutual referral network of international family law specialists, which generates inbound matters when UK-side expertise is required.
