David Cobern Email & Phone Number

I joined Tozers solicitors as a consultant in February 2024, having practised for over 20 years as a family law specialist and (since 2015) director and shareholder in a regional family law practice. I specialise in advising unmarried clients regarding financial issues, including living together agreements and pre-nuptial agreements and on relationship breakdown. I have unrivalled expertise advising people in financial dispute outside marriage, primarily former cohabitants and family members who are or were in business or who own or occupy property together. I prepare Cohabitation Agreements for unmarried couples and prepare Pre-and Post-Nuptial Agreements for couples intending to marry or already married, wishing to limit claims on divorce.As a specialist family lawyer I have many years experience and unrivalled knowledge in this field which enables my firm to offer a specialism within this area of the law. No other firm in the south west offers this level of expertise in unmarried finance issues.I am the author of a comprehensive guide to cohabitation Living Together and the Law (published in 2016 by RHE Media Limited).I was drawn to this area of practice because I am concerned about the widespread misconceptions about the rights of cohabitants and the unsatisfactory state of the law in this area. I want to ensure that people in these situations are treated justly. Make sure your legal representative is a specialist in this area. These cases are very fact sensitive. It is important to identify the issues from the outset, act swiftly to protect your position and the rights of your dependents, then negotiate.

Listed skills include Prenuptial Agreements.
