Where You’ve Seen Us
Our Cohabitation Advice Services
Whether you’re looking to formalise a living arrangement in writing, or need advice about a dispute, it’s essential to find experienced cohabitation lawyers. Lowry Legal specialises in relationships involving significant wealth, offering cohabitation advice that can address even the most challenging scenarios. Here are the services we offer:
Plan For the Future with Our Cohabitation Lawyers
It’s become increasingly common for unmarried couples to share a home together and split bills in a way that suits both parties. While this type of informal arrangement can work well, there are some notable risks. The main drawback of this approach is that, should the relationship become strained or break down, neither person would be guaranteed the same security as a married couple or those in a civil partnership. This can lead to complex — and costly— disputes down the line.
Lowry Legal’s cohabitation solicitors can help you to formalise an agreement that clearly explains the likes of home ownership, personal debts, and contributions. This kind of arrangement offers improved clarity and extra peace of mind for the future. If you’re already embroiled in a dispute, we can help you to establish ownership and simplify your options.
Our skilled team is experienced in highly complex, high net worth relationships. This means we’re perfectly placed to provide the guidance you need, when you need it.
How Lowry Legal Can Help

- 2
If you are going through a dispute, our cohabitation solicitors can get to the bottom of the legal ownership of your property. If you are struggling to communicate with the other party, we can help you to establish a more collaborative — and effective — platform to resolve issues.
“A high-octane team large enough for a wealth of expertise and experience but small enough to have rich discussions, pool ideas and know their clients and cases personally.”
“Vastly experienced in all areas of their work, genuine expertise and hugely respected in the industry. Certainly the premier family team in the north west as far as I am concerned.”
“Boutique in the absolute best sense of the word. A client-friendly team who robustly represent their clients interests.”

Cohabitation Advice Tailored to Your Relationship
Every cohabiting couple has its own priorities for inclusion in their agreement. For some, home ownership is most important, while those with families are more likely to be concerned with what happens to children should the relationship break down. Lowry Legal understands that there isn’t a single solution, so our cohabitation solicitors will turn your personal objectives into practical goals.
When disputes happen over living arrangements, this can lead to extremely stressful conversations. Our skilled team excels at bringing couples together in a more collaborative way, helping them overcome any barriers and move forward.
Headquartered in Manchester but supporting clients throughout England and Wales, Lowry Legal is a family law specialist with experience of especially complex, high net worth cases. This means that we are just as comfortable providing cohabitation advice as we are in other areas of domestic law, including divorce and separation, nuptial agreements, and much more.
