Collaborative Law
Collaborative law offers an alternative divorce and dispute resolutions that support both parties to reach fair and balanced solutions for everyone, without going to Court.
This process is based on identifying your interests and goals – in other words, what is most important to you – and helping you achieve them. Throughout it all, there is a focus on maintaining positive family relationships and promoting the wellbeing of children.
The professionals in this process are trained in collaborative practice and mediation and bring different skills to the negotiating table.
The lawyers advocate for you and provide legal advice and support.
The resolution will be specifically-tailored to your individual needs and circumstances.
The process is: Collaborative
Constructive, Not adversarial
Respectful, Not aggressive
Transparent, Not deceptive
Creative, Not based on “legal outcomes”
Empowering, Not driven by lawyers or Judges
Constructive Negotiation
Negotiation does not need to be spiteful or based on a ‘winner takes all’ approach. It can be respectful, constructive, and focused on achieving fair and balanced outcomes. This is what we do best.
The negotiation process involves two family lawyers (one for you and one for your partner). Sometimes, if necessary, a neutral third party can be involved – such as a mediator or facilitator.
This type of negotiation can take place in different ways, including round table meetings, correspondence, telephone attendances, or a combination of these elements. The process is always tailored to suit your needs and preferences, so that everyone is as comfortable as possible.
