Collaborative Law is an alternative method of dispute resolution where a couple reach a financial settlement based on their requirements and timescales rather than rely upon the Court.
A series of meetings are held at which you and your partner and solicitors sit down together and negotiate towards a settlement that is practical, sensible and legally binding for both of you.
The financial and emotional costs of pursuing this process can be a lot less than pursuing Court proceedings, particularly where children are involved.
The collaborative process encourages you and your partner to focus on being constructive and to think creatively to work towards achieving the best possible outcome for both of you.

The collaborative process can also be used to produce pre-nuptial and post-nuptial agreements, and pre-civil partnership and post-civil partnership agreements. For further information on these agreements click here
