Invaluable knowledge and expertise. Patience and understanding, particularly in a very difficult situation.
I am very grateful to them for their patience in advising me at every step along the way. Tenaciously insisted on pension actuary, resulting in full disclosure which had not been truthfully provided in mediation. Result was a extremely positive outcome. Also made every effort to accommodate my mobility issues. Brilliant solicitor's and highly recommended.

Had a very good experience with Emma. Very professional and efficient. I got my pension sharing order and good settlement. I wish I had used Emma for my previous court dealings with two other solicitors.

Straightforward, clear advice

I was very taken with Emma’s direct, but reassuring, approach. She answered my questions frankly and ensured that I understood the situation and my options.
The practice itself is highly organised and efficient, whilst also being open and friendly.

Nie szukaj dalej - tu we wszystkim Ci pomoga sprawnie i profesjonalnie

Od poczatku spraw zwiazanych z podzialem majatku po dlugim malzenstwie korzystalem z uslug wylacznie tej firmy. Na pierwszym spotkaniu prawnik w calosci przewidzial koncowy rezultat. Na kazdym etapie postepowania bylem informowany o mozliwych dzialaniach ze wskazaniem najkorzystniejszych dla mnie i dzieki temu udalo sie wygrac z agresywnymi prawnikami drugiej strony. Profesjonalizm i doswiadczenie zawodowe Mr Mark Hussey sa nie do przecenienia. Byl moim prawnikiem przez 14 miesiecy i polecam go kazdemu kto potrzebuje pomocy w oferowanym przez firme zakresie. Pozostane mu wdzieczny na zawsze.

Children access arrangements

Catherine at Bellwethers was outstanding at guiding me through what I considered a very difficult situation.
Catherine worked extremely hard to get the ideal result for me, which was to get regular contact with my two children.
I cannot recommend Bellwethers and Catherine highly enough.
Many thanks!

Superb service. Highly recommend.


I can’t really express enough how thankful I am to Emma Kirkaldie-Clay at Bellwether Solicitors, for all of her hard work through my difficult divorce.

For six years, Emma guided and supported me through this often emotional and confusing process. Throughout this stressful time, Emma was professional, reliable and efficient and kept things running smoothly. When things became too difficult and emotional at times for me, Emma was kind and understanding and went above and beyond what was expected. I believe my strength to see this process through and receive the fair outcome I did, was down to Emma’s knowledge, tenacity and emotional support.

Emma kept me informed every step of the way and helped explain things clearly when I didn’t understand something or was confused - this even extended into other areas of the divorce and house sale.

I would highly recommend anyone going through a divorce to use Bellwether Solicitors.

Thank you so much, Emma.

Always there...

Choosing to divorce was a personally very daunting step to take, as is the case for millions of others, but Bellwether solicitor Katherine Hall inspired confidence from the outset. She analysed my situation very quickly and sensitively based on her many years of experience, so from our very first meeting I felt I was in good hands. She put things into perspective and normalised the situation, reassuring me of a fair outcome. Divorce comes in many guises but it is for most a once only experience and full of firsts. It is disarming as a professional in your own line of work to be put into a situation of opaque processes and jargon. You feel out of your depth and you just want it to end. So, it was so important to me to have a reliable, trustworthy guide who was supportive and professional throughout and I felt was always there for me.

I would not hesitate to recommend Bellwether Solicitors. Mark was so helpful and went out of his way to give me advice, which was so helpful. My brother also sought his advice over a family issue. We will definitely use their services again!

I wholeheartedly recommend Emma at Bellwether Solicitors. Her depth of legal knowledge and practical experience is second to none, and she approaches every matter with a calm, confident professionalism that immediately puts you at ease. Emma is not only an exceptional solicitor but also a genuinely kind and compassionate person who truly cares about her clients.

She takes the time to listen, explain things clearly, and guide you through the process step by step—no matter how complex the situation. Her responsiveness and attention to detail are outstanding, and she consistently goes above and beyond to achieve the best possible outcome.

If you want someone who is both highly capable and truly invested in your case, Emma is the one to call. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone in need of expert legal support.
