Advising Gay and Lesbian Clients: A Guide for Lawyers

This practical guide covers all the issues on which a gay or lesbian client may need advice, including discrimination and employment issues, arranging financial affairs and making wills, the family home, custody disputes, adopting children or otherwise creating them, access to social services such as housing and welfare benefits and the criminal law as it affects gay men. This book takes a practical, non-political, advice-centred approach. Written by a strong team of solicitors and barristers, it also includes valuable precedents including a framework cohabitation agreement and declaration of trust for freehold property.
