What is Collaborative Law?

a useful way to agree on your arrangements post-separation

Collaborative practice offers separated couples a way to be in control of their arrangements following separation, in a way that no other legal process is able to. Rather than heading to the courtroom, you can utilise the expertise of your collaborative lawyers and coaches to reach a resolution between yourselves.

Collaborative law focuses on solutions that are based upon the beliefs, goals and values of your family following the breakdown of your relationship.

The collaborative professionals use a team environment and employ other necessary professionals to consider all issues relating to separation, so that you can find a solution that aligns with your values.
