  • ‘Brachers LLP were a recommendation to me and worked well with my intention to adopt a collaborative approach to my divorce. They were able to offer this service, which is still not available in many law firms, and in my opinion is an innovative step to ensure divorce does not have to be combative and destructive. Brachers were professional and communicative from the very outset and right through the process.’
  • ‘If you want efficient and quality service in the South East, the Brachers team are a great option. They offer pragmatic and sound advice, they have a nose for the answer and a no-nonsense way of getting there.’

Not only is Mei-Ling proactive and quick thinking with every turn of events but her legal knowledge is excellent.

From the beginning Mei-Ling has been formidable and one would struggle to find a better family solicitor.’
