Collaborative Law

If a relationship has come to an end, collaborative law can be a way of resolving disputes amicably.

Clients who want to agree a way forward in an amicable way without a long, drawn-out court process often turn to collaborative law for answers. This lawyer-led collaboration is designed to constructively address issues and promote compromise, saving time and costs.

The collaborative law process

Collaboratively trained lawyers will work together to help you and your partner resolve your issues. There is an understanding and agreement signed at the outset that you and your lawyers will not work against each other, will share information and will come together to discuss and try to resolve your issues out of court.

Like many of our Unified in Separation services, the collaborative law process is suitable for resolving issues associated with both finances and children.

I’d like to thank you for all your help and support given to me over the last few years. I cannot thank you enough for your true professionalism. I have felt that at every interaction we had that you really understood the impacts to me and my family personally.

You navigated me through a really challenging time at a pace that was right for me. It was hugely important that I had a settled family life, and that everyone was alright in the end and indeed we are!
