Traditionally when a relationships breaks down each party takes separate legal advice which can lead to a lengthy debate in correspondence or protracted court proceedings. In turn this can make each party suspicious and distrustful often making relationships deteriorate further. Advice can often be conflicting which can then lead to deadlock only able to be resolved by Court proceedings.

Dealing with matters on a collaborative basis both parties agree not to enter into lengthy correspondence or issue court proceedings unless the process breaks down. You and your former partner try to reach a resolution that suits you both and in particular any children involved through a series of face to face meetings between both parties and their specially trained lawyers. This allows you both to find solutions that a Court may not be able to impose on you but that suit your family. This takes place with support and guidance of your respective specialist lawyers.

We are committed to this modern approach to family law which is already proving highly successful. We currently have the largest team of collaborative lawyers in the area.
