collaborative law

 

family child

 

Collaborative law is designed to minimise the distress of relationship breakdown as far as possible by opting out of the court process to resolve issues.  We have a number of trained individuals.

 

It means that the couple set the agenda rather than the courts and discuss what they want in a series of face-to-face meetings with their respective lawyers.

 

who are collaborative practitioners?

 

These are lawyers and other professionals trained in collaborative practice who help their clients reach a fair agreement.

 

the process:

  • the couple agree with their lawyers to resolve issues without going to court
  • settlement is reached in meetings between the couple and their respective lawyers
  • all relevant information is disclosed in the process
  • you remain in control of the process

 

If no settlement can be reached, new lawyers have to be instructed for court proceedings.
