AFP Bloom

AFP Bloom is a fresh, modern legal firm built for family law's most complex cases, matters involving substantial wealth, international assets, businesses, or children's welfare, often complicated further by a partner whose behaviour is unpredictable or difficult. Moments that call for clear thinking and decisive judgement, and that is what we provide.

Every case is led by a partner, with senior lawyers directing strategy from the first meeting through to resolution. We map the route early: what is likely to happen, when the key decisions will arise, and how each choice shapes both outcome and cost, with complete transparency on fees throughout.

Our lawyers are specialists in their chosen area of family law, not generalists spread across many. A decade spent focused on one thing teaches you more than a decade split six ways, and we built the firm around that belief. Where a case calls for expertise beyond our own, we bring in trusted barristers, divorce consultants, accountants, valuers and therapists; building a team around the client's strategy, without double-charging for it.

We act for a wide range of clients, from entrepreneurs and business owners to individuals with public profiles. For European and international families, we draw on a bilingual Anglo-French team with close to two decades of experience resolving cross-border disputes.

Above all, our aim is to hand clients back a sense of control through a challenging time. 

Divorce & Separation

We take care of the entire process of divorce, guiding you through every administrative step to a final decree absolute, the point at which your marriage is legally over.

Financial Remedy

Financial settlements are rarely straightforward. We draw on deep experience across the full range of complexity (from modest estates to contested, high-value and cross-border cases) to secure the best possible outcome for our clients.

Children Act Proceedings

A child's future is what matters most in any family case. Our children team focuses on the most complicated matters, those involving challenging personalities, international families, or particular and specialist needs. And, where necessary, urgent intervention or protective measures, always working towards the right outcome for the child.

International Proceedings

Our specialists bring well over a decade's experience in international family law, including the relocation of children and disputes over which country's courts should hear a case. For European families, our bilingual Anglo-French team draws on close to twenty years resolving cross-border disputes.

Pre/Post Nuptials

We draft and negotiate pre- and post-nuptial agreements built to hold up when they're needed most, giving clients certainty and protection from the outset.

Protective Measures

Where a client is experiencing threatening or controlling behaviour, we act quickly to put protective measures in place, because safety comes before strategy.

Mediation, Arbitration and other ADR

Court is not always the right route, and we do not treat it as the default. We use mediation, arbitration and the full range of alternative dispute resolution options to reach outcomes without unnecessary conflict.
