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, timestamped, tamper-evident records and messaging — so finding legal help sits alongside the everyday reality of co-parenting, not in a separate corner of the internet.
Every listing is reviewed before it appears. Family solicitors and mediators can claim a listing and join as a Larkling partner, with a Verified Partner badge on the listing. That keeps the directory genuinely useful — a shortlist of real, practising family law firms and mediators.
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 Timestamped 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 solicitor or mediator, you can claim your directory listing and join as a Larkling partner. It takes a couple of minutes via our claim form, and it puts you in front of people looking for legal help while they use a co-parenting app.
Partners receive a personal referral link — larklingapp.com/r/<code> — to share with clients. Families you refer get 3 months of Premium free on the monthly plan, covering both homes. The yearly plan stays full price. You also receive a Verified Partner badge on your listing. There is no commission and there are no targets, and a one-page client leaflet is available on request.
How do solicitors and mediators join?
They claim their directory listing and join as a Larkling partner. Each partner gets a personal referral link (larklingapp.com/r/<code>) to share with clients. Families they refer get 3 months of Premium free on the monthly plan, covering both homes; the yearly plan stays full price. Partners receive a Verified Partner badge. There is no commission and there are no targets, and a one-page client leaflet is available on request. Searching the directory stays free.
Who can be listed?
UK family solicitors and FMC-accredited family mediators. We review each claim before a listing goes live.
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 message and expense records are timestamped and tamper-evident, and our documenting co-parenting for court guide walks you through what to keep and how.
