  Collaborative Law

   Much is written about the damage that can be done to families who go through the    Court process. The collaborative process offers a client-led, lawyer supported
   alternative to this.

   Collaborative law involves both parties instructing a collaborative lawyer and then the
   clients and lawyers sit around a table and thrash out a solution to any issues arising
   in a constructive way, all discussions being underpinned by the principle that they will    not issue or threaten Court proceedings, which demonstrates a commitment to
   resolve all issues in a conciliatory way.

   As with mediation, a collaborative approach is conducive to good ongoing
   communication between the couple. Collaborative law is a good option for a client
   who requires a greater amount of lawyer support than the mediation model gives
   as the client has their own lawyer who is present at every meeting.
