Alternative Dispute Resolution 

Traditionally, you have had to go through the courts to get divorced. Some people find the court experience distressing and it can lead to confrontation.

Our family lawyers are committed to resolving issues without going through the courts where possible. This approach is often called collaborative family law and can work out less costly than going through the courts.

Our national family law presence gives us the strength in depth to help clients from across the country and you get the peace of mind of dealing with one of the UK’s most experienced teams.

Collaborative Family Law

If you and your partner want the same outcome and can have open and honest conversations, the collaborative approach might be the most suitable way for your divorce or separation.

One of our lawyers will help you to share information and negotiate a solution that suits both parties. This method can be especially useful where children are involved and parents need to maintain some form of relationship.

Mediation

Using a mediator can also help you avoid going through the courts. A mediator will work with both parties to understand their finances and how they hope to resolve the dispute.

We have a trained mediator and/or collaborative lawyer in each of our regional offices. We will work for the benefit of the whole family and work to find a fair solution for all parties involved.
