Document Preparation: 

We help prepare statements, agreements, or other documents if you prefer to retain a lawyer for only part of the process.

Collaborative Process: 

Our trained Collaborative Lawyers help identify common interests and build solutions. This is perfect if you want separate legal advice while maintaining a degree of trust and an ongoing relationship.

Pay-As-You-Go: 

This is ideal if you’re a budget-conscious client who understands your legal needs. Pay for meetings and documents as needed, ensuring cost-effective support.

Working with Essex Family Law

Initial Consultation: 

Book a meeting with us to discuss the nature of the dispute, the parties involved, and your goals for resolution. We will explain the process and explore the best approach for your situation.

Negotiation Sessions: 

We’ll facilitate discussions between the parties involved to identify common interests and reach a mutually acceptable agreement.

Information Gathering: 

We’ll collect relevant documents and other pertinent information. This helps ensure a clear understanding of the issues at hand.

Legal Documentation:

We’ll draft and review any necessary legal documents to formalise the agreement and ensure it is legally binding.

Ongoing Support:

We’ll provide continuous support and guidance throughout the process to address concerns and ensure a smooth resolution.

We reserve the right to decline to act for more than one individual where there is a conflict of interest, both clients are not in full possession of information and facts or where the risk assessment indicates a joint approach is not suitable. If this happens, we will suggest alternative ways to resolve issues and signpost individuals to suitable services.
