About Thom Family Law

Expert family law advice with a calm, personal approach serving clients across Beds, Bucks, Herts and London.

Your Solicitor

I’m Matthew Thom, an accredited specialist family law solicitor with more than 15 years experience advising people on family law matters, including divorce, finances on separation and divorce, child arrangements and pre- and post-nuptial agreements.

I provide straightforward legal advice with a focus on cost-effective and practical solutions.

My Experience

I have advised on a wide range of family law matters, including:

Before starting Thom Family Law, I worked at several top tier and well regarded family law teams in London and the home counties. Many of those firms are recognised nationally for their expertise in this field.

How I Work

As a self-employed consultant solicitor, if you instruct me in your matter, then you will become a client of Bexley Beaumont – a large award winning law firm – where I am a partner and where all the solicitors are self-employed with the freedom and flexibility to focus solely on their clients’ matters and the quality of service they offer. 

You will then work with me directly from start to finish meaning you will always know who is dealing with your case.

I explain each step in plain English so that you understand what is happening, why it matters, and what comes next.

I will also provide a clear cost estimate at the outset of your matter and provide regular cost updates throughout.

What Clients Say

Clients say I respond quickly, support them throughout and explain each step in simple terms. They value my professionalism and the care offered during their matters.

Professional Background

I am a member of Resolution, an organisation committed to reducing conflict in family matters and encouraging constructive solutions. I follow their Code of Practice to promote a respectful and practical approach for the benefit of clients.

I am also a Resolution Accredited Specialist in:

Moving Forward Together

Family issues are personal and often stressful. When you need advice, I am here to guide you with clarity and care so you can take the next step with confidence.
