Collaborative law

Your challenges

Separation can be a very difficult process. Emotions are high. You may not feel able to address issues directly with your partner. However, litigation is expensive and you may want to avoid going to court. It can result in an outcome that neither of you want. Court proceedings can also create more problems than they solve between you and your partner. If you have children, this may affect your ability to co-parent them effectively. 

How we can support you

Collaborative law is fundamentally different. You and your partner discuss issues in face to face meetings with the help and support of your collaboratively trained lawyers. You remain in control and you can tailor make a solution that feels right for your family. Collaborative law encourages communication and helps to maintain your relationship as parents if you have children.

We have the experience and expertise required to help you to decide if collaborative law is for you. You will work with us, your partner and their lawyer. We all commit to resolving the issues without going to court. You will receive the support, legal advice and guidance that you need. We also have strong links with other collaboratively trained professionals who can assist, including counsellors, family therapists and financial professionals.
