McKenzie Friend Role
McKenzie Friends are a role in family courts where you can bring a non-solicitor to assist you with your case. They don’t need any qualifications and could simply be one of your friends but there are professional McKenzie Friends with a range of experience.
After our own personal experiences with the challenges of family courts, we started helping out friends and family and in 2008 we started doing this role professionally.
Now we’ve helped out over 15,000 familes and gained a ton of expertise.

Court Hearings
Our McKenzie Friends can assist you in making an application to court whether that is for a child matter, domestic abuse, or financial remedy.
If you need further assistance we can write you a succinct position statement to effectively outline your views and requirements to the Judge. These statements are tailored for each hearing and your individual circumstances, ensuring your argument is understood and is aligned to the law.
If you need support inside the court hearing we can attend in-person or remotely in order to provide quiet advice and take notes. Small nudges can help let you know when it’s best to raise a point or keep quiet! We won’t leave until you fully understand the implications of any court ruling .
