Collaborative law is a modern method of assisting married or unmarried couples to resolve disputes regarding issues such as finances or children, without going to Court. Read on to find out more about our collaborative law solicitors in Reading and Henley can help.

Collaborative Law is a transparent four-way (the couple and their respective collaborative lawyers) joint venture for a common goal, namely resolving outstanding matters between them in a co-operative, amicable and pragmatic way.

Negotiations take place through a series of meetings between the collaborative lawyers and the couple, positively contracting out of the “traditional” route of correspondence between lawyers and, potentially, Court proceedings. The parties are at the forefront of the process, with their lawyers assisting them rather than driving the process.

It’s a transparent, dignified and non-confrontational approach to reaching a resolution, with the parties committed to providing relevant information and disclosure openly and honestly. Such agreements are subsequently submitted to the Court for approval to ensure the agreements are binding and enforceable.
