Summary


I wholeheartedly believe Pictons offer clients a genuine service which is client friendly and focused, but at the same time gives sound legal advice in all situations however complex.

As Managing Partner I seek to maintain our reputation as the leading provider of legal services across the Beds, Bucks and Herts region.


Expertise


As a matrimonial lawyer I have over 10 years of experience in all aspects of family work, specialising in the areas of divorce and finances. In addition I have expertise in areas of children, cohabitation, and pre and post nuptial agreements, jurisdiction and wealth preservation.


Case Studies


I have acted on a number of large ancillary relief matters dealing with complex issues such as business and pension division.

I have represented clients on a wide range of children matters and have successfully obtained orders for a number of clients in order for them to remove children from the jurisdiction.

I have recently worked on a number of matters relating to the preparation of pre nuptial agreements and advise clients regularly on when it is appropriate to consider entering in to such agreements and when it is not.

As a young solicitor I worked on a Court of Appeal case regarding the law relating to the challenge of the validity of a consent order, that case remains a leading authority on that principle to date.


Testimonials


We hired Sukh and his team for some advice we needed in our business. The advice was very helpful and has helped us in so many ways I cant really put a value on it. If you need any help or advice I would recommend Sukh or any one of the Pictons team. My family have used Pictons for over 40 years and so the relationship started with my father and as always trust their advice on any matter - Jet Shah August 2012


“I've had a business relationship with Sukh and Pictons for the past two years and I hope it has benefited Pictons as much as it has the football club. Honest, reliable, professional and forward thinking are only some of his qualities. I hope the relationship will continue to grow and would be happy to recommend him to any individual or company that require his services.” - David Hoskins, Commercial Manager at Luton town Football Club, March 2012


“Sukh Saini is a very compassionate and committed lawyer who you'd absolutely want to have on your side. His expertise is superb but more than that, his warm and friendly manner helps you to relax even in the most tense, stressed and complex circumstances” - Frances Pardell of Pardell PR March 2012
 

“I hired Sukh as a result of a personal recommendation, given that I have tended not to trust lawyers too much it meant a lot to work with someone reputable. Sukh did not fail to deliver on any count. He clearly knows everything there is to know about child/marital law which are the areas relevant to me and not only does he know his stuff he is passionate about what he does and intent on getting the right result for his client. Sukh has always been 200% professional, calling when he says he will, constantly updating on progress and delegating to associates if he was not available. As a partner of Pictons he represents this firm superbly and I would recommend (and have done) Sukh to anybody. I found Sukh to be diligent, open, honest and also thoroughly personable. Sukh is on my speed dial now and I won't use any other lawyer in the future if I so needed one.” - June 1, 2010


“Sukh is a highly knowledgeable Legal professional, adept at explaining the nuisances of British Law in a plain and understandable way. He gives you a clear view of your options and keeps in touch throughout the process. In short, Sukh is a Lawyer that you would want on your side of the Court.” - March 18, 2010


“Sukh is highly professional, friendly and helpful. He is happy to give advice and guidance which can help people to avoid later issues and unnecessary expense. Anyone who has a concern over a legal matter should definitely consider speaking with Sukh.” - February 5, 2010


“I have known Sukh for some time via joint membership of several business network groups. His reputation is that of a consummate professional of the highest integrity coupled to a very high level of knowledge in his profession as a practicing solicitor and senior partner with Pictons Solicitors LLP I recently had the pleasure of working with Sukh to implement a training day for several members of the Pictons team and was impressed by how much of his professional attitude and practices had permeated through to both senior and junior members.” - January 4, 2010

Personal


Team sports and individual sporting pursuits have always been an integral part of my life. Having taken up distance running last year, ‘my mid life crisis’ continues with the additional challenges of incorporating training for swimming and biking events….and then I just have to put them all together….in one day!
