BRINGING DIVORCE INTO THE 21ST CENTURY - A unique one-stop exhibition for those considering divorce or separation

With UK divorce rates on the rise, it's obvious the social stigma of the 'D' word has waned, and as a sign of the times potential divorcees are now looking for an alternative means to get all the information and advice they need to make their divorce or separation to go as smoothly as possible.

Going through a break-up can often leave people feeling frustrated and overwhelmed, not knowing what to do next or where to go for help. But, a new and unique exhibition designed to provide support for those considering, or embarking on divorce or separation is gearing up to be the popular choice for couples who have decided to go their separate ways, or just need advice on what options are available to them.

Judiciously timed when divorce rates are consistently at their peak, the 'Leave Your Partner' exhibition takes place 5 - 6 January 2013 at The Business Design Centre, Islington, London.

With a growing divorce industry, this exhibition is designed to provide information and advice to people who are considering divorce or separation. The exhibition boasts a number of the UK's top lawyers, accountants, financial organisations, wealth management, child care and maintenance, property agents, mediators and councillors. Workshops and seminars will also take place throughout the weekend, including a number of the top UK divorce lawyers, such as Miss Ayesha Vardag from Vardags Solicitors, who will be hosting a one hour seminar.

Ayesha said:

"The Leave Your Partner exhibition is part of a useful trend that allows people considering divorce or separation to understand the range of support available to them. I am delighted to have been asked to present at the Leave Your Partner exhibition. Events such as these are essential if individuals are to understand that they are not alone during their divorce and that they can get high quality advice and support from firms such as Vardags and our fellow exhibitors."

In a situation where the family lawyer may not be available to one half of the couple, and whether the settlement of an estate is small or large, professional advice is highly recommended, and clients looking for guidance will be heading to this event. As part of a comprehensive marketing and PR campaign this exhibition will also feature on a number of wealth management portals, making this event fundamental to any discerning law firm.

Deborah Levy, from WGS Solicitors, was involved with the biggest ever UK divorce settlement commented:

"Divorce and separation are all too prevalent today, but with an exhibition such as this hopefully those going through or contemplating separation/divorce will have greater knowledge and insight to make decisions which work best for themselves and any children."

Bringing all industries together under one roof, Leave Your Partner provides law firms with the opportunity for business to business networking with accountants, therapists and marriage guidance councillors, as well as access to a unique set of potential clients.

Exhibitor and speaker, Rupinder Bains from Bain Cohen Solicitors said:

"The Leave Your Partner exhibition is geared towards those contemplating divorce and separation and it is precisely at this point that we need to help guide parties to decide what outcome they want to achieve from their divorce or separation."

Similar exhibitions have proven extremely popular in Europe, with the stands offering legal advice attracting the largest crowds. Leave Your Partner exhibition is attracting prospective visitors from around the world, as well as participation from world-class speakers and support from associated charities and organisations.

Karen Holden from A City Law Firm LLP said:

"Leave Your Partner exhibition presents a good opportunity to inform people about their options and liabilities relating to their break-up. This exhibition is a great forum from which to promote an amicable and stress-free process, and gives people an informed means to move forward."

Supporting the exhibition is the 'Female Tycoon' conference. The conference will bring together successful international business women to enhance their entrepreneurial skills, businesses and personal acumen, in areas such as wealth management, setting up a businesses in the UK , global franchise opportunities, professional and personal development, master classes and networking. There will also be a live debate on the important role women have in the 21st Century.

This conference provides further opportunities for law firms to assist with business expansion plans, and private seminar rooms can be made available.

Exhibition Director Ben Alexander says this event fits our modern lifestyles in today's society:

"In an age of Divorce Planners, divorce showers and 'split-up' gifts, Leave Your Partner brings together all the information and advice for those thinking about separation or divorce all under one roof. This exhibition does not encourage or promote the ending of relationships, it's about providing support, offering choices and helping people move on with their lives."

"Many people feel isolated and helpless when going through a divorce and this event provides them with the information they need to make informed decisions and make contact with people who can help them."

Leave Your Partner is the first of its kind in the UK. There is nothing like this event in the country in terms of venue, duration or quality of exhibitors and speakers. Spread over two days and based in London it is attracting a great deal of attention and those wanting to exhibit should sign up soon.

The Leave Your Partner exhibition takes place on 5 and 6 January 2013 at the Business Design Centre, 52 Upper Street, Islington, London, N1 0QH. For more information or to book a stand contact........
