Approved scheme members can provide advice and representation for children in all family matters, for adults when their children are at risk or taken into care, and for local authorities in care proceedings.
Collaborative Law
Collaborative law helps ease the pain of family breakdown. Sometimes talking things through can seem the hardest challenge of all. Especially when relationships break down, hurt, bitterness and anger are often the strongest feelings. Almost always, the very best solutions are those which you work out for yourselves, together - in which everyone involved can share. At it's simplest, that's what collaborative law is all about - reaching solutions together to ease the pain of relationship breakdown and create the best chance of building a brighter future. Collaborative lawyers are absolutely committed to helping you find the best solutions by agreement, rather than through conflict. Collaborative lawyers are trained and skilled in helping people benefit from the collaborative approach to resolving family disputes.
