Collaborative Law

This is a comparatively new procedure to resolve disputes. Collaborative lawyers are specially trained to act on behalf of their client to negotiate matters in a ‘collaborative’ way by making a commitment not to go to court but trying to resolve matters in four-way meetings. 

The process is done by both parties sitting down and meeting with their respective solicitors and endeavouring to reach agreement in all matters. There is no ongoing correspondence between solicitors other than minutes of the meetings. This process can be very dynamic and can help communication between couples.  Collaborative law can only be dealt with by specially trained solicitors.
