Round Table Meeting

When you want to move your case forward, round table meetings can be invaluable. These meetings require you to negotiate in person rather than via correspondence, and can assist you in reaching agreements on interim arrangements and even reaching final settlement.

How do round table meetings work?

In these meetings, you and your lawyer and your partner and their lawyer meet ‘around the table’ to discuss your case and the issues which need to be addressed. Round table meetings can be arranged in a way which suits your circumstances and may also involve other professionals who are working with you.

I largely dealt with Danielle Bentley, who was the solicitor with conduct of my matter. The difference between her approach and others seems to be a focus on not only the legal requirements of my matter, but also a clear focus on practical consequences of decisions that were made during the case.
