Andrea Woelke

Andrea is an accredited expert in family law with particular expertise in international family law, child abduction and cohabitation.

He takes the view that family law does not have to be about litigation in the courts, stuffy procedures and language only lawyers understand. If court proceedings are necessary he takes a robust approach without losing the overall picture of the issues including the costs of the litigation.

Andrea regularly writes and lectures on family law in England as well as in Germany. He is an authority on civil partnership. He is co-author of Model Letters for Family Lawyers, in which he shows how legal concepts can be expressed in clear language that everyone can understand. He is also the author of Civil Partnership, one of the leading text books on this subject.

Andrea is a member of Resolution, and Chairman of the Resolution International Committee. He is also a member of the German Bar Association and a trained collaborative lawyer. He is Chairman of LAGLA. Andrea is fluent in German and many of his cases have a German or other international aspect.

Andrea is a member of Q’Pod, a group of lesbian and gay collaborative lawyers. Q’Pod specifically focuses on issues arising from same-sex relationships. Members of Q’Pod are gay and lesbian family lawyers who deal with issues like separation, child contact and residence and financial issues resulting from separation.
