The Collaborative Law Process

Collaborative law

Callum is a trained in the Collaborative Process.

What is Collaborative Law?

Collaborative Law is an alternative dispute resolution process intended to keep your matter out of court. If you choose to follow the Collaborative Law process, you and your partner will commit to working together with lawyers who have been through the Collaborative training program.

The Collaborative Process involves a series of focused meetings where information will be exchanged, and discussions will occur. We will explore resolution options in a collaborative, supported and respectful way following key principles.

Benefits of Collaborative Law

• A focus on Co-operation, not confrontation

• Problem-solving with lawyers where you and your spouse try to understand each other.

• You and your spouse are responsible for gathering information and making decisions.

• You, your spouse and both collaborative lawyers work as a team.

• It may take less time and money to settle matters using the Collaborative Law process.

• Both lawyers help you both to:

  a. Find and focus on what is important to you and what concerns you;

  b. Understand each other’s concerns;

  c. Gather and exchange information;

  d. Explore a wide range of possible choices; and

  e. Reach solutions acceptable to both of you.
