Family Law (Collaborative)

We have highly skilled family lawyers who provide a safe, reliable and confidential service. We work collaboratively which means we manage your case alongside other like minded lawyers + other professionals that might be valuable in your circumstances; think counsellors, medical professionals, financial planners, business coaches.

    What Is Collaborative Law?

    Collaborative Law is a respectful, out-of-court process where both parties work together, supported by their own legal representatives and other professionals like financial planners, child specialists, or counsellors. This approach fosters open communication and aims to reach agreements in the best interests of all involved.

    How It Works

    1.     Intake Meeting


    Begin with a confidential meeting with your lawyer to discuss your situation, explore your goals, and understand your options.

    2.     Collaborative Correspondence


    Your lawyer engages in structured communication – through letters and meetings – with you, the other party and their lawyer to work through issues and reach mutually agreeable solutions.

    3.     Agreement Drafting

    Once consensus is reached, your lawyer collaborates with the other party’s lawyer to draft binding agreements
