Qualified collaborative law solicitor
Collaborative law offers a practical and amicable way to resolve disputes without the need for court proceedings. If you're navigating a family dispute, our collaborative law solicitor at Beckett Solicitors can assist you. Contact us at one of our offices in Rainham, Canterbury, Maidstone, Sittingbourne, Ashford, or Croydon to get started.
A different way of dealing with family disputes
During the process you appoint your own (collaborative) lawyer but instead of your lawyer conducting negotiations on your behalf by letter or phone, the emphasis is on your lawyer helping you and your former partner to work things out together in face to face meetings. Your lawyer is with you throughout the process to provide support and legal advice.
​
The meetings are often called four-way meetings and usually take place in one of the lawyers’ offices. Sometimes only a couple of meetings are needed to resolve matters, but this depends on the issues to be discussed. Collaborative law can help to resolve your dispute more quickly, cheaply and with less stress and acrimony.
Kirsty Bloomfield is a member of Resolution and trained Collaborative Lawyer. If you are looking for someone to deal with your collaborative case in a calm, sympathetic and professional manner, please contact Kirsty for more information. You may also be interested in family arbitration and family mediation.
The process
The collaborative law process ensures disputes are resolved respectfully and efficiently. As part of this process, you, your former partner, and both collaborative law lawyers sign an agreement stating that your lawyers cannot represent you in court if the process breaks down. This encourages everyone to stay committed to reaching a solution.
During the process, the agenda for each meeting is agreed upon beforehand with the assistance of your lawyers. Once a resolution is reached, our dispute resolution lawyer can help finalise your agreement. If necessary, they will assist in converting it into a legally binding court order.
Our resolution-trained lawyers provide expert guidance throughout the process, ensuring your case is handled professionally and effectively.
Resolution trained lawyers
Collaborative law requires specialist training, and all collaborative law solicitors are trained by Resolution, a respected organisation promoting constructive dispute resolution. Resolution-trained lawyers focus on achieving practical outcomes while minimising conflict.
