Civil Partnerships

As of 5 December 2005, same sex couples have been able to register as civil partners and as a result acquire rights and obligations similar, but not identical, to those of married couples. Whether you are thinking of registering a civil partnership and wish advice on how to do so, you wish advice on the effects of entering into a civil partnership, financial and otherwise, or you wish to know about the financial consequences of dissolution of a civil partnership on breakdown of the relationship we have the expertise to help. For the same reasons as parties contemplating marriage, or even those already married, should consider entering into Pre-nuptial or Post-nuptial Agreements, those contemplating or already registered in civil partnerships should consider entering into formal agreements regulating their rights and responsibilities in respect of one another in the event of a breakdown of their relationship.
