We will support and guide you through any family law issue as swiftly and cost effectively as possible
Meet The Team
There is often a fear that litigation and mounting costs will follow the instruction of a lawyer. This doesn’t have to be the case. There are several routes to resolving matters and each will be explored carefully alongside the likely fees and benefits of each.
Helen has reduced her overheads, enabling her to provide city level advice at very favourable rates compared to her competitors. She offers family law advice to clients nationwide – facilitating face-to-face meetings in South West London (where she is based) and Central London where she has access to convenient office space.

Talia joined Clarence Family Law as a paralegal in September 2025. She graduated from the University of Nottingham in 2022 with a First-Class Honours degree in English, before completing the PGDL at the University of Law, where she achieved a Distinction.
She went on to obtain a Distinction in her Masters in Law, writing her dissertation on whether parental alienation should be recognised in UK law. This deepened her interest in family law and inspired her to pursue a career in the field. She has since passed both Solicitors Qualifying Examinations.
Talia has gained valuable experience in family law including client meetings, drafting prenuptial agreements, attending financial settlement hearings, and undertaking legal research.
