Timely advice and support

Finding the best way forward

If you decide to proceed towards a divorce settlement, our team of divorce solicitors in London and Newbury will help you find the most appropriate way forward for you at an early stage. This may include:

• Court-based - If you choose to take a more traditional approach, we will provide the helpful advice you need, and support you through the entire process. Always, our focus is on seeking a positive and cost-effective outcome.
  
• Mediation - If you want to reach an agreement out of court, mediation can be a less contentious and more cost-effective route. Mediation can take place before or during the legal process. With this approach, an independent mediator (or co-mediator) works to help parties resolve issues between themselves.
  
• Collaborative law - As a newer alternative to court-based proceedings, collaborative law is an approach where parties work together with their collaboratively trained lawyers to resolve matters outside of court. This approach can more effectively preserve the relationship between parties, which can be extremely beneficial when children are involved.
