At Pardoes Solicitors we understand the highs and lows of having a career with the Armed Forces. The strain on relationships while military personnel are deployed overseas, the interruption of careers of partners with postings to different parts of the country or abroad, the physical and mental strains that accompany serving one's country. We appreciate that being in the Armed Forces is much more than a job.
This is why Pardoes have an Armed Forces team, headed up by Mark Hood, former Logistics Officer in the Army. A rare military pensions expert, Mark is highly experienced in guiding Armed Forces clients through relationship breakdowns and property matters where couples are not married.
Our Armed Forces team can help you with all your legal needs:
We offer a 10% discount to all serving personnel. We can provide advice by e-mail, telephone, in person or by video link so we can cater for those overseas.
We initially signed the Armed Forces Covenant in February 2019 and re-signed it on 8 November 2023 in order to renew our promise.
We have always had close links to Yeovilton and we are proud to support our staff, many of whom have family in the Armed Forces, in particular, to recognise the value of serving personnel, reservists and veterans.
At Pardoes we offer a 10% discount on our legal services to all current and former military personnel, reservists and their immediate families. It’s our way of recognising your service and saying thank you.
We know that serving personnel returning home can face even greater challenges fitting back into family life. Sadly divorce features highly for the military and coping with the legal process at the same time as trying to keep to keep up with the demands of duty can be overwhelming.
Here at Pardoes we can offer a tailor made service to meet your needs and help you steer through the complexities of dividing up marital assets and explaining the issues surrounding military pensions. We understand the differences between the different schemes, the AFPS 75, the AFPS 05, the RFPS and the AFPS 15 and can help you work out what would represent a fair settlement.
We also understand the affects of divorce on children and can help protect your relationship with your children even when you are moving around the world.

Frequent moves, deployment and changing postings can make property decisions more complex for service personnel and their families. Whether you're buying your first home, relocating due to new orders, investing while stationed overseas, or managing a sale during deployment, we understand the unique pressures you face.
Our conveyancing team provides clear, timely guidance and flexible communication options - so you can keep your move on track wherever you are in the world.
We have offices across Somerset. You can book an appointment in one of our offices, but we are equally happy to help remotely.
