Islamic Law Solicitors
Our leading Islamic & Sharia Law department specialises in representing families in a wide range of complex matters. We regularly represent parents, children through their guardians, and wider family members in Islamic Sharia Law matters under English jurisdiction, as well as in cases involving cross-border legislation.
Islamic Marriage Contracts
The marriage contract (Nikah) is a vital component of an Islamic marriage. Our Islamic Family solicitors are skilled at drafting and negotiating Islamic marriage contracts that align with English law and Islamic principles to ensure protection under both legal systems.
Islamic Divorce
Islamic divorce under English law can be intricate. We assist with divorce cases where the marriage has not been registered under UK law and provide guidance on rights and proceedings for registered marriages. Our team has significant experience conducting Islamic divorce through Sharia Councils and advising on all aspects of Islamic marriage and divorce.
Islamic Financial Settlement
Financial settlements are an essential part of divorce. Our team supports clients through asset distribution and financial settlements, ensuring compliance with English law. For those married under Nikah without civil registration, we help clients recover their share through Trust Law and provide guidance on wedding jewellery disputes.
Mehr Claims under English Law
Mehr, a key aspect of the Nikah, can lead to disputes regarding its payment. We advise on rights and support Mehr claims in family courts or through claims for breach of contract, depending on whether the marriage is recognised under UK law.
International Muslim Families
Our multi-lingual family team is experienced in cross-border legal matters and international enforcement of financial orders. We handle cases involving Muslim marriage and divorce, foreign asset recovery, Islamic pre-nuptial and post-nuptial agreements, Mehr claims, and cross-border children disputes.
Laws of Muslim Countries
Our solicitors have in-depth knowledge of legislation in various Muslim-majority countries and can apply this expertise to your case.
Islamic Mediation
Before court proceedings, a Mediation Information and Assessment Meeting (MIAM) is often required. Our team supports Islamic family mediation, ensuring adherence to Islamic principles in cases involving contested divorce, financial settlement, child contact, and residence disputes.
Islamic Marriage Guidance and Counselling
We have built a network of Muslim marriage counsellors who can assist you and your spouse with concerns in a professional and sensitive manner. For situations that go beyond counselling, we offer support in mediation, financial settlement advice, divorce, and child contact matters.
