About Us

My name is Karen Taylor and I founded Essex Family Law in 2016. With extensive legal experience and a deep commitment to my clients, I specialise in a Collaborative Law process focussing on resolving family disputes without needing court intervention. I am passionate about helping families find harmonious solutions to their legal issues. I offer a supportive and constructive environment where couples and families can work together to build lasting solutions without resorting to the courts. I also provide access to a trusted team of professionals, including counsellors, financial advisors, mediators and additional lawyers from other firms. These professionals work alongside me – and therefore act as part of your team – to ensure you receive the best advice and support.

“Karen is very professional, understanding and honest. She has given the best advice and has helped me on two separate occasions.  Karen has given her support throughout the whole process. Karen has been at the end of the phone when I needed advice and is so quick at responding to emails. She deals with other parties professionally and has taken a great deal of stress and pressure off me when dealing with issues. I could not have got through this process without Karen’s advice and support, and I will be forever grateful for the time she has given me.” Katie Barstow
