Four Steps to Your Agreement

Each step is guided by experienced family lawyers who specialise in high net worth BFAs. Here’s exactly what to expect.

01

Confidential Online Assessment

Begin by completing our secure intake form. Share details about your assets, relationship status, and goals — at no obligation and completely free. We review your situation within 24 hours.

04

Independent Legal Advice & Signing

Both parties must receive independent legal advice — it’s a legal requirement for a BFA to be valid. We coordinate referrals for your partner’s lawyer, and once both lawyers issue their required certificates of advice, the agreement is signed and becomes legally binding.

  • File handed between junior lawyers
  • Impersonal, one-size-fits-all approach
Accord Private
  • Transparent, fixed fees agreed upfront
  • 100% online — from any location
  • Streamlined process — as fast as 2 weeks
  • Dedicated senior lawyer on every matter
  • Bespoke agreements for complex wealth
