A live directory of UK family law firms — every firm is checked against the SRA register before listing. Browse free; sign in to the Larkling app for the co-parenting toolkit that helps you prepare for any legal process.
The Larkling solicitor directory is a free, searchable list of UK family law professionals who work with separated and co-parenting families. It lives inside the Larkling app, next to the tools families already use — shared calendars, court-ready records and messaging — so finding legal help sits alongside the everyday reality of co-parenting, not in a separate corner of the internet.
Every firm in the directory has been invited to join by the Larkling team. There's no pay-to-play ranking: listings are free for now, and premium placement only becomes available once the free tier fills. That keeps the directory genuinely useful — it's a shortlist of real, practicing family law firms, not an advert page.
Family law is one of the most stressful corners of co-parenting. Whether you're looking for a MIAM (the mediation information session required before most court applications), a solicitor to handle a child arrangements order, or advice on a specific dispute, the directory helps you find firms that understand the reality of separated families — not just the law in the abstract.
You can search by location, firm name or specialty. The directory currently covers solicitors across the UK, with local hubs for London, Manchester, Birmingham, Leeds and Bristol — with more cities being added as firms join.
Good preparation helps every consultation. Before you contact a firm, you can use Larkling's free parenting plan checklist, our child maintenance calculator, and the app's court-ready message and expense records to walk in with your side of the story documented. Solicitors consistently say that organised clients are easier to help — and cheaper to represent.
If you're a family law solicitor or firm, a free directory listing puts you in front of people actively looking for legal help while they use a co-parenting app — a highly relevant audience at a high-intent moment. Claiming your listing takes a couple of minutes via our claim form.
Free listings include your firm name, location and practice areas. Premium spots — pinned placement and priority in search results — are reserved for later and will be offered to listed firms first, so the earliest firms get the best positions.
Is the directory free?
Yes. Listings are free for solicitors and free to search for Larkling users. Premium placement is a future option, and free listings never disappear when it launches.
Who can be listed?
UK-qualified family law firms and solicitors. We verify each firm before it appears, which is why the directory is built by invitation — no paid placements, no directory spam.
Do I need a Larkling account to search it?
No — the listings on this page are free to browse. If you create a free Larkling account (under a minute), the same directory sits inside the app next to the shared calendar, messaging and record-keeping tools that help you prepare for any legal process.
Is a listing a recommendation?
No. The directory is a starting point, not an endorsement. Always check a firm's credentials and feel comfortable with them before you instruct anyone — and remember that for many co-parenting questions, mediation is worth exploring before court.
Not every co-parenting problem needs a lawyer. Mediation and a clear parenting plan resolve a surprising amount of disagreement — which is why our parenting plan guide and the MIAM guide are among the most-read pages on this site. But there are moments when independent legal advice genuinely matters:
Whichever stage you're at, arriving prepared makes the conversation cheaper and more productive. The Larkling app's tamper-evident message and expense records are designed to be court-ready, and our documenting co-parenting for court guide walks you through what to keep and how.
