The aim of collaborative law is to resolve matters without going to court. Each partner appoints their own lawyer but instead of conducting negotiations by letter or phone, they meet to work things out face-to-face. Each partner has their own lawyer by their side throughout the process in order to benefit from legal advice as they go.
James Grigg said: “While this is still a fairly new approach to dealing with family break up, recent research shows that there has been a substantial increase in collaborative cases. It offers a real alternative to couples who do not want the stress of an acrimonious divorce and the possibility of having to go to court.”
