When marketing your law firm it obviously helps to keep the needs of clients uppermost in your minds - and that can mean taking account their busy lifestyles.

Birmingham law firm Martineau has taken this into account and started running a Saturday service to deal with an increase in divorces among the wealthy.

Mary Kaye, head of the family law team at Martineau, says the wealthy tend to be very busy so one way to help them is to provide a service at a time that suits their lifestyle.

She told the Birmingham Post: “The increased pressure on time creates a paradox that is not lost on many of our clients. The reason they face difficulty in their personal life is the very same reason many find it hard to sort out their personal affairs during the working week. So the obvious course of action is to provide access to the best legal advice when it is most convenient for them.”
