Dawson Cornwell is one of the UK's leading specialist family law firms.

Based in London, the firm acts for clients across the UK and internationally who are embarking on divorce or separation. The firm advises on all areas of family law.

Unlike other niche family law practices, the firm also advises on buying and selling properties and on wills and planning family finances.

The firm is consistently recommended by Chambers and the Legal 500, the two main legal directories.

Established in 1972, the firm follows the principles of Resolution. Formerly known as the Solicitors Family Law Association, this national organisation was founded by the senior partner, John Cornwell, to encourage a constructive approach to divorces and family law.
