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.

Client testimonial Legal 500 2026

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.

Client testimonial Legal 500 2026

The family department are one of the leading teams in the Thames Valley area. Both Kate Grant and Danielle Bentley are technically brilliant whilst all the time delivering sensible and pragmatic advice for their clients.
