Firm

Boardman, Hawkins & Osborne LLP is a niche family practice established in 2018 by  partners, Emily Boardman, Ruth Hawkins and Irena Osborne.

The firm offers legal advice and representation and mediation by mediators who are also practising solicitors, and other forms of family dispute resolution.

The partners and consultants all have established reputations for particular specialisms and the partners appear in both Chambers & Partners and The Legal 500.

Our ethos is based on a strong commitment to supporting individuals in some of the most difficult circumstances of their lives: divorce and separation; disputes over children; involvement with social services and domestic abuse; adoption, kinship care and surrogacy.  Many of our clients are vulnerable and our team are skilled at dealing with those needs.

Each of our clients has their own needs and we tailor our legal advice and packages to each situation. Some clients want to do everything themselves, except appear in court; while some want a full service and representation throughout their process.

We offer competitive private rates, fixed fees where appropriate and legal aid for eligible cases and clients.

For privately funded cases, our hourly rates range between £110 – £350 per hour (+VAT), dependent on solicitor.
