We are now able to offer a new way of working with you: one lawyer for two clients. This is our own tailored Resolution Together process.

If you are ready to work together rather than against each other to reach amicable solutions in respect of all issues arising from your separation or divorce and would like to do so together instructing one lawyer only, then this may be the best option for you.

This resolution method is suitable for separating couples who are open about their financial positions, will provide complete and transparent disclosure, are aligned on the outcome they think is best for themselves and their family and who would like one qualified and experienced professional to handle the way forward with them and for them.

Our regulatory professional body has now provided structured guidelines within which this service can be offered to suitable separating couples.

How does it work?

After screening for suitability, we hold a joint assessment meeting to ascertain that this is an appropriate way in which you can work together.
This is the star of our working together journey in which we will:

• Facilitate full financial disclosure and enable transparent discussions
• Provide guidance and information needed to reach a full agreement
• Assist you both with your discussions and negotiations
• Reduce the risk of conflict between you
• Involve other professionals in the process who may be able to assist either with disagreements, emotional issues or where expert advice ia different field is required.
• Guide and support you in good faith and in pursuit of your common
• interest
• Assist you to reach a concluded agreement to be embodied into a draft Consent Order for a Judge to approve and make binding.

Benefits include:

• Working together as a team with one family lawyer and any other professionals who may be able to assist with counselling where needed, pension or financial advice.
• Avoiding the polarisation and disconnect that having two separate lawyers may bring.
• Increase efficiency and speed up the process as it is being reviewed by one lawyer not two
• Receiving a professional, personalised, expert and regulated service

“Resolution Together” enables you to jointly instruct one solicitor to steer you both through the divorce and financial process and to help you create a binding outcome. Please contact us if you would like to find out if this way forward may be suitable for you and your family.
