Who are we?

The family lawyers in the Devon group are all members of and have been trained in Collaborative Law by Resolution.

They have many years experience advising on separation, divorce, children, financial agreements and other legal and practical issues that can arise when relationships breakdown.

What is Collaborative Law?

Collaborative Law Is a process. It is a way of working, It has little to do with Court-imposed deadlines and priorities. It has everything to do with the priorities and timetables of the couples and their family.

The aim is to resolve the issues arising from separation without going to Court.

The process

Letter writing is kept to an absolute minimum and instead issues are addressed in a series of face to face meetings which include the couple and their respective collaborative lawyers. Other collaboratively trained professionals join the meetings where appropriate, for example, accountants, financial advisers, life coaches and counsellors.

Benefits

  • Offers to separating couples an opportunity to take joint control of their own separation
  • Opportunity to reach an agreement as to how separation will be finalised
  • Legal advice without the threat of contested Court applications
