Collaborative Law
How Does Collaborative Law Work?
- You and your ex-partner both retain your own collaboratively trained solicitor
- You undertake four-way meetings between you, your solicitor, your ex-partner and their solicitor in order to discuss issues and find mutually acceptable solutions
- A key difference from mediation is that you have your solicitor on hand in the meetings and they are able to offer you legal advice
- Your solicitor is also able to put across your thoughts and speak on your behalf
- Other professionals can also be part of your team and involved in the collaborative process such as a financial advisor, accountant or family counsellor
