About Us
Blanchards Law, the family lawyers putting you first
It’s not about us, it’s about you
Every single case we take on is different; it has different issues and complexities but most of all it involves different people. Which is why we put you: our client at the centre of everything we do, because you are the most important person in your case.
Our core skill at Blanchards Law is listening. By listening and taking our lead from you, we can present your case in the best possible way and in the way that you deserve.
Every law firm’s website will tell you how long they have been established, what societies they belong to and what exams they’ve taken, and we could do that too. But you are more important than us.
What’s much more critical to you, is to know that you can trust us to advise and guide you to the settlement that’s right for you, your family and your children.
In addition, you want a costs-vs-benefit analysis to be carried out at an early stage, to know what your case will cost you.
Putting you at the centre of your case is one of the key values that differentiate Blanchards Law from other family lawyers.
Blanchards Law’s values
- Client first – you are at the core of what we do

What you should look for from us
- A guarantee that your case will be dedicatedly managed at a senior level, so that you can get on with your daily life.
- The sanity that your case is being handled objectively as well as subjectively, that you are given the full picture and your expectations and legal costs are managed appropriately.
- The comfort that your documents are completed correctly, and forms filled in properly.
- The benefit of our expertise and experience, to enable you to strategise with us, for us to react quickly to any unexpected twists and turns in your case.
- Clear explanations of processes and complicated legal concepts.
- Timely turnaround – your questions being answered quickly and within a specific time period.
- The awareness that you will not be charged on a strict basis, and that a more holistic approach to billing will be taken in your case.
- That costs will be discussed with you at an early stage, you will be invoiced monthly and costs advice will be updated regularly, so that you do not have to worry about that, too.
- The knowledge that you will be in clear and regular communication with us, to be aware of what is happening and to lessen your levels of worry and anxiety.
- The security that you will receive enough information on processes to enable you to complete any actions yourself as you may wish to, during or after the case.
- The assurance that your settlement is future-proofed.
Everyone’s requirement is different which is why Blanchards Law always put you at the centre of everything we do.

This is what our clients say about us
Punam is an excellent family lawyer. She gives good sensible advice on divorce and child matters at what is often a particularly distressing time. I would not hesitate to recommend her for the most complex matters; her legal knowledge combined with her ability to see the bigger picture are invaluable.
Rob Alloway
I instructed Punam to make a financial relief application under Part III Matrimonial and Family Proceedings Act 1984. Punam is very professional, knowledgeable and kind. I would not hesitate to instruct her again on any legal matter. Thank you for all your support.
Aline Michele
Divorce is a very harrowing, stressful and personal event Punam was warm and approachable but super efficient and succinct with it. Genuinely staggered at how smooth a process she made it. I wholeheartedly recommend Punam after a very positive experience myself.
Sam Cowan
Punam is an experienced and tenacious lawyer offering warm, compassionate and intelligent advice on a wide variety of family matters. She has acted for us for over a decade both in the city and in her own practice on divorce proceedings and complex family and child matters. We would not hesitate to recommend her.
Sue Evans
Blanchards supported my difficult and complex legal proceedings. They navigated every detail with high competence and provided confidence and reassurance at every step. Was most grateful for the human touch of doing the right thing at all times, and for their comforting professionalism even when times were very tough. Fully recommend and thank you.

I was directed to use Blanchard's Law as a recommendation from a friend. It was a very trying time dealing with a family matter, and Punam and her staff were extremely professional and supported me throughout. I would not hesitate in recommending Blanchard's Law to others.
