Collaborative Family Law Service


We offer a:


  • collaborative law service, as well as
  • a traditional resolution processes

This is a new approach set up by a specialist team of family lawyers to manage the divorce process in a dignified manner for all concerned. During the collaborative process, family solicitors and their clients agree, in writing, to arrive at a settlement without involving the courts. They agree to work together to resolve any family and financial issues arising out of the separation.


For couples who really seek a rational solution, and want to reduce the pain of family breakdowns, it offers the best way ahead. Collaborative Law allows you and your former partner to reach shared solutions and agreements away from the Court, giving you more control of the situation. You and your former partner will meet with your own solicitors in the same room and work through issues together face-to-face. This service aims to reach the best solutions for you and your family.
