We are now offering a one couple, one lawyer approach, where one of our experienced lawyers can help both you and your partner to come to a resolution together. Legal advice is provided jointly, instead of the traditional approach of having two separate lawyers.
Working with one lawyer, enables you both to work together and reach an agreement that works for you and your family. Together, you can manage costs, maintain communication and have the benefit of legal advice with the focus on what truly matters; the future for you and your family.
The Benefits of One Couple, One Lawyer
1. Reduced Conflict: This way of working is very personal and works around you both, rather than for the individual. By meeting with you both and advising you together, unwanted and drawn-out conflict can be avoided, by focusing on what you both seek to achieve.
Engagement together ensures that boundaries are respected and communication is maintained throughout the process.
2. Cost-Effective Solutions: We understand that costs are of paramount importance.
Working with one lawyer rather than two can significantly cut down on legal fees.
