Mark Christie
Client Care Team Lawyer
I have specialised in family law for over 35 years with a focus on divorce, separation and private law children disputes, often advising on very complex cases. I am noted for my non-confrontational manner and supportive approach that helps to resolve matters quickly and avoid court hearings, where possible.
Specialisms
Mark Christie was a long-standing member of Resolution – First for Family Law, having joined shortly after its inception (when it was known as The Solicitors Family Law Association) and firmly believes in, and practices, its ethos of seeking to resolve family law disputes in a constructive and non-confrontational manner. He was also a member of the Solicitor’s Regulation Authority’s Family Law Panel which means his expertise in family law has been rigorously and independently assessed and accredited.
Having specialised in family law for over 35 years Mark has a wealth of practical experience in this demanding and ever-changing area of the law.
He deals with all aspects of divorce and separation, private law children disputes (eg in relation to residence, contact, prohibited steps orders and specific issue orders), grandparents’ rights, financial issues on divorce and separation, separation and prenuptial agreements, emergency remedies and non-molestation and occupation orders required as a result of domestic abuse.
Mark provides clients with realistic, holistic, constructive and results-driven advice, delivered with empathy and respect. Mark’s non-confrontational manner wins over both clients and fellow professionals, enabling matters to be resolved quickly and by agreement whenever possible. This avoids costly and unwelcome court proceedings.
Although the majority of Mark’s cases are based in the Family Court in England and Wales he has represented clients in respect of international relocation in jurisdictions including Australia, Germany, Spain and the USA.
Training & employment experience
Mark read Law at The University of East Anglia and studied for his post-degree professional legal qualifications at Leeds Law School (as it then was). Mark has always specialised in family law and has done so for over 35 years. As a result, he brings a wealth of experience to assist his clients.
Approach
Mark’s approach is to listen to his clients, understand their wishes and feelings and seek to provide them with empathetic, focused, practical and holistic advice at a very difficult time in their lives.
Outside of work
Mark is married with children and grandchildren. In his spare time, he is a musician in a band and is a keen sportsman, particularly enjoying squash, cycling and running.

What our clients say
Mark Christie provided me with exceptional support throughout a very difficult divorce. His professionalism and robust attention to detail are second to none. He gave me hard facts alongside solid advice and guidance throughout the whole process. His robust and pragmatic approach was reassuring and I certainly felt Mark shouldered the burden of my divorce allowing me to sleep at night knowing I had an excellent solicitor acting for me. I will always be grateful to Mark and would highly recommend him, more so I'm certainly grateful he was in my corner!
I am really pleased that the court honoured the pre-nup agreement. Thank you so much for all your help. Stowe Family Law has been excellent in dealing with my matrimonial affairs.
Can I just add that leaving you today I have felt the best I have in months, I felt safer and reassured, a huge, terrifying load fell from my shoulders. My family has had too much to do to support me through this and I’ve felt some guilt, as they too suffer my ex's abuse, although hugely appreciative of their massive help, I’m relieved the burden can be lightened, thank you so very much.
I would like to thank you both for everything that you have done over this past 15 months, for my family and I hope this is a satisfactory conclusion to all things. I will be calling over tomorrow afternoon, to personally thank you both.
Mark Christie recently acted on my behalf for my extremely messy divorce. This was an incredibly difficult and stressful time and thanks to Mark and his wonderful PA Michelle we were successful in winning my case. I am now fully back on the road to recovery and getting on with my life. After initially going to a different firm for a consultation prior to Stowe Family Law there was simply no comparison. The level of detail and professionalism that Mark brought to the table would be impossible to beat and it was the best decision I ever made to hire Mark. He will be 100% committed to your case and will try his very best for you. I have recommended Mark to many people and will continue to do so as having the right person on your side during this horrific period of time is critical.
Mark Christie is an absolutely superb solicitor I can not recommend highly enough. He is very approachable and has a vast knowledge of all issues regarding divorce. His attention to detail is second to none. Mark provided excellent advice throughout my divorce proceedings and has removed all stress from a very difficult situation. I would 100% recommend Mr Christie and Stowe Family Law for all aspects of divorce and separation. Definite 10 out of 10!
I would like to take this opportunity to say thank you for all your help, understanding and professionalism throughout this process.
