Divorce and Separation
Relationship breakdowns are always emotionally difficult and they can be particularly hard when your assets and children are involved.
As you and your former partner move in different directions, it’s vital to come to an amicable settlement on finances and the future of any children. Our team of family and divorce solicitors is experienced in helping with all aspects of a relationship breakdown, whether it’s been a marriage, cohabitation, or civil partnership.
Debt Recovery
If one of your clients is in financial difficulties it can be a worrying time, especially if they are not paying the monies they owe you.
If they go into receivership, you need to act quickly to secure your interests. The cost of recovering debt is often more expensive the longer it takes.
As soon as you feel a debtor is starting to stall, get in contact with our debt recovery lawyers. The issue can often be resolved with a ‘letter before action’, and without a lengthy and costly court case.
Commercial Property
Whether your commercial property is owned or rented, any outlay involved can pose a serious financial risk.
Our team of experienced commercial property solicitors in Hampshire and the Isle of Wight offer you comprehensive advice on risk management, and how to get the most commercial value from your property.
We have a long and distinguished record of helping landlords, developers, tenants, contractors, and purchasers get the most from their assets. So, you can rest assured you’ll be dealing with experienced, commercially-minded property lawyers.

Testimonials
Take a look at what just a small selection of happy clients had to say!
The team here at Churchers are amazing. I was recommended the company for my divorce and they were outstanding. Joanne Gilholm handled my affairs and all paperwork was dealt with quickly and efficiently. I was well prepared for any court appearances and in my opinion I was represented by the best. The outcome was better than I expected because my legal team were well informed and prepared and I now intend on using them for my house purchase.
Faye, I’d like to thank you on behalf of the family for the time you spent meeting with us face to face, for your advice and work on the family trusts, for your clear and patient explanations of the sometimes difficult concepts involved, and for stepping in so quickly to manage the probate process for us when we needed help. You helped us through a very difficult time and we do appreciate that very much .
We required advice and action on preparing joint wills. Our appointment with Mr Matthews was very informative and he clearly explained all of the elements of the process so that we understood exactly what was involved and the options open to us. Documentation was quickly prepared, and we returned for a review meeting which successfully completed the process.
