Family Law Partners, a leading UK firm in non-court dispute resolution, has transitioned to employee ownership through an Employee Ownership Trust.

This move secures the firm’s independence, empowers staff, and strengthens its mission to deliver innovative, compassionate family law services—while ensuring a sustainable future rooted in its people-first values.

Robert Williams, co-founder of Family Law Partners, commented:

“We’ve always been a forward-thinking firm, committed to not only providing exceptional legal services but also building a supportive, inclusive environment where colleagues can truly excel. An EOT was the perfect choice to show our commitment to the long-term future of both our team and clients. We’ve been approached by a number of firms in the past, but we had always wanted to ensure that the firm remains owned and run by those who are passionate about delivering the very best in family law for the families we support”.

Alan Larkin, co-founder of Family Law Partners, added:

“This is a huge step in our journey, but one that is very much in line with the values we’ve built this firm upon. The EOT structure allows us to give back to the people who have made Family Law Partners what it is today – our brilliant team. It reinforces our vision of putting our people at the heart of everything we do and ensures that we continue to innovate, grow, and look to the future of the firm and its place in family law with confidence.”
