Richard qualified as a solicitor in 1996. He has subsequently established himself as one of the leading family lawyers in Shropshire, North Wales and the North West, specialising in resolving the financial claims arising from divorce or relationship breakdown.
Richard’s wealth of knowledge and experience in these areas has led to him to being involved in a number of notable cases. His typical clients are high net worth individuals with significant assets both in the UK, and sometimes offshore. He regularly acts for business owners, directors and shareholders, farmers, landowners, professionals or their spouses. Typically, the financial structure of the relationship is complex, with his cases often involving trusts, business assets, self-invested pensions and assets located outside the UK.
Richard’s empathic client skills, his ability to get to the core issues and his robust and commercial advice has seen his reputation burgeon in the marketplace and the overwhelming majority of Richard’s clients come from former clients or professional referrals.
He is a fully trained collaborative lawyer (committing to resolve cases outside of court proceedings) and has recently completed a contract with the Law Commission dealing with the potential reform of the law relating to financial provision on divorce.
If you, or any of your clients, contacts or family or friends need any assistance with the issues arising from divorce or relationship breakdown then do not hesitate to give Richard a call on 07881 950769 or richard.barge@aaronandpartners.com Richard is usually more than happy to have an initial conversation without charge and to give a timely steer in the right direction.
