Ffion Greenfield has been featured in the Financial Times, discussing the relatively new trend of sharing a divorce lawyer in the article Will we need to pay tax on gifting our Swiss apartment?

Ffion explains that sharing a lawyer can offer significant cost savings and quicker resolutions for divorcing couples who are willing to collaborate. Ffion also highlights the necessity for impartiality and transparency from the shared lawyer who will help to guide both parties toward a fair outcome.

This approach may not be suitable for all, especially in cases of financial complexity, power imbalances, or domestic abuse. Yet, for many, it represents a more amicable and cost-effective route to finalising a divorce.
