David Smith

I joined Glover Priest in May 2019 having previously spent several years working as a family solicitor for Legal 500-ranked regional firms.

I have a wealth of experience as a solicitor and deal with the full range of private family matters including separation and divorce, property and financial matters, children matters relating to residence and contact, pre and post nuptial agreements, separation agreements and co-habitation disputes on behalf of unmarried couples. I act for a wide range of clients on matters of varying complexity. No case is too big or small. Two recent examples of my financial remedy practice include advising a client on an appeal involving a complex separation agreement and the variation of a spousal maintenance order to final hearing, both cases involving substantial assets.

Having previously worked in management posts within the engineering and information sectors I bring a broad range of experience in both life and business and am an efficient problem solver. My non-confrontational but resolute approach to relationship breakdown sets me apart from many family solicitors. I provide genuine warmth and understanding at what is often an unsettling time.
