Collaborative law
The collaborative process is an alternative way for you to resolve matters.
Our trained Collaborative Lawyers will work with you, offering guidance and advice in a series of open, face to face meetings with you and your partner. The purpose of these meetings is to discuss and try to resolve your issues. They can include the assistance of other professionals such as financial specialists and counsellors who will contribute towards a successful negotiation.
Collaborative law can help to establish communication that will last into the future and inevitably contribute to improved cooperation after divorce and separation.
Mediation
Mediation is a cost-effective method of alternative dispute resolution that can avoid the uncertainty of the Court process by allowing a safe space for people to talk through their matrimonial issues. It can help you both make informed decisions that are right for you and your family.
Arbitration
Arbitration deals with specific issues such as finances, property and potentially Child Arrangements. By appointing an arbitrator, you and your partner agree to be bound by their final decision.
