Are Prenuptial Agreements Legally Binding in the UK?

It is one of the questions we are asked most often, and the legal position is not as straightforward as a simple yes or no.

In England and Wales, prenuptial agreements are not automatically binding. However, following the landmark case of Radmacher v Granatino, the courts will give decisive weight to an agreement that has been freely entered into by both parties, with full financial disclosure and a proper understanding of its implications, provided it is fair to hold them to it.

A well-drafted prenuptial or postnuptial agreement can bring real clarity and protection. Our Family team also advises on divorce, financial orders, cohabitation and separation agreements, guiding you calmly through every stage.

Is a prenuptial agreement legally binding in England and Wales?

Many couples assume a prenup is either ironclad or worthless. The truth sits in between, and getting it wrong can leave your assets exposed. Without the right advice, an agreement may carry far less weight than you expected if it is ever tested.

Here is the reassurance: while not automatically binding, a properly prepared prenuptial or postnuptial agreement, entered into freely with full disclosure and independent advice, carries real weight with the courts. It can protect property, savings, business interests, and inheritance, before or during marriage.

Our Family team will make sure yours is done right.

How does shared ownership work, and who is it for?

Getting onto the property ladder can feel out of reach, with rising prices and hefty deposits putting a home of your own seemingly beyond grasp. It is easy to feel stuck between renting and buying.

Shared ownership offers a middle path. You buy a share of a property, usually between 25 and 75 percent, and pay rent on the rest, with the option to buy more over time.

It can make homeownership achievable, but the details matter, from lease terms to future costs.

Our guide breaks it all down in plain English.

The clock is ticking... and the rules of the game are about to change!

For years, the three-month deadline for UK employment tribunals has been notoriously strict miss it by just one day, and your claim is usually dismissed. It's a incredibly tight window when you're still processing what happened.

But a major shift is coming.

Under the Employment Rights Act 2025, the standard time limit for most employment tribunal claims will double to six months, starting from 1 October 2026.

This is a massive update that both employees and employers need to prepare for.

Want to know what this means for you?

In this article, Paul Shuttleworth, Head of Employment, breaks down:

✅ What an employment tribunal actually is
✅ How the claims process works
✅ Exactly what is changing in 2026
✅ What steps you should take right now to prepare
