Our Legal Services and Expertises

---

The end of a family relationship brings both financial strain and real emotional difficulty. At Ashraf Law, our Barristers guide you through it with empathy, discretion, and a clear plan — listening carefully to what matters to you, so we can achieve the best outcome for you and your family.

Through Direct Public Access, you can instruct us directly, without going through a separate solicitor first.

• Divorce: Clear guidance through every stage of the divorce process, from the initial application to the final order.

• Financial settlements: Advice and representation on dividing property, pensions, and other assets, and on spousal maintenance where appropriate.

• Separation: Understanding your options — including judicial separation — and the benefits and implications of each.

• Child Arrangements Orders: Where a child lives and how they spend time with each parent, resolved sensibly wherever possible and firmly represented where not.

• Child maintenance: Guidance on how child maintenance is assessed, varied, and enforced.

Wherever in the world you wish to live, work, or employ people, our immigration team can help.

Ashraf Law acts for an international client base and has extensive experience across immigration and asylum matters — from families seeking to reunite, to individuals establishing residence or citizenship, to those relocating for work.

How we can help

We advise and represent clients on:

• Family reunion and partner or spouse applications

• Residence, settlement, and citizenship

• Work and business immigration

• Asylum claims and appeals

Human rights belong to every person. The Human Rights Act 1998 brings the rights set out in the European Convention on Human Rights into effect in UK courts and in applications to the Home Office.

In immigration and asylum cases, we make representations in respect of:

• The right to life

• The prohibition of torture and inhuman or degrading treatment

• Protection against slavery and forced labour

• The right to liberty and security

• The right to a fair trial, and no punishment without law

• Respect for private and family life, and the right to marry
