The Collaborative Law Process

All our lawyers are trained and experienced in the collaborative process.

Collaborative law is a process whereby the couple work together with their collaborative lawyers with the aim of achieving a fair settlement that works for them and their family.

The process is an alternative to litigation and the traditional partisan negotiations; discussions take place round a table in a series of open, honest and dignified meetings. Agreements are tailor made and focussed on the priorities identified by that couple. Whilst engaged in the process, no court proceedings can be commenced unless by agreement.

Once agreement has been reached the lawyers draw up the formal documentation that can if appropriate be sent to the court for consideration and made into a binding order.
