Collaborative Law

If a relationship has come to an end, collaborative law can be a way of resolving disputes amicably.

Clients who want to agree a way forward in an amicable way without a long, drawn-out court process often turn to collaborative law for answers. This lawyer-led collaboration is designed to constructively address issues and promote compromise, saving time and costs.

The collaborative law process

Collaboratively trained lawyers will work together to help you and your partner resolve your issues. There is an understanding and agreement signed at the outset that you and your lawyers will not work against each other, will share information and will come together to discuss and try to resolve your issues out of court.

Like many of our Unified in Separation services, the collaborative law process is suitable for resolving issues associated with both finances and children.

I was so impressed with HCR Law and could not have asked for better representation over the course of my divorce. Anita provided clarity and reassurance in meetings and emails, she was also so professional and assertive in the family court. HCR succeeded in getting me the outcome I wanted.

Client testimonial Finances following a divorce

As ever, you’ve been brilliant Hannah. I wouldn’t say each time we chat it’s the best moments of my life but each time you blend a mix of fantastic advice, legal professionalism as well as just being there for me to vent anytime I’ve needed. Your advice (even when I haven’t always wanted to hear it) has been well founded and always with the desire to get the best outcome possible in mind. I’d absolutely recommend you to anyone going through a family matter as the only person to go and speak to so a huge thanks for everything despite how challenging a situation it’s been for me.
