Avery Emerson works within the principles laid by down Resolution (previously The Solicitors Family Law Association).

Resolution’s 6,500 members are family lawyers and other professionals in England and Wales who are committed to the constructive resolution of family disputes. Resolution members encourage sensitive, cost-effective solutions that consider the needs of the whole family, and in particular the best interests of the children.

Avery Emerson adheres to the Resolution code of practise, which promotes a non-confrontational approach to family problems. This means that Avery Emerson . . .
