Family Law

Collaborative Practice

Collaborative practice is a method of alternative dispute resolution that offers a non-adversarial approach to resolving legal matters. At Wright Street Lawyers in Adelaide, South Australia, we specialise in collaborative practice in various areas of law, including family law, estate planning, probate, and criminal defense.

Benefits of Collaborative Practice

Collaborative practice focuses on cooperation and open communication to reach mutually beneficial agreements. Some of the key benefits include:

  • Preservation of relationships
  • Control over the outcome
  • Efficient and cost-effective resolution

How Collaborative Practice Works

In a collaborative practice process, each party is represented by a specially trained collaborative lawyer. The parties work together in a series of meetings to identify their interests, discuss options, and negotiate a settlement that meets the needs of all involved.

FAQs about Collaborative Practice

Collaborative practice can be used to resolve various legal issues, including family law disputes, estate planning matters, probate cases, and even some criminal defense issues.

The duration of the collaborative practice process can vary depending on the complexity of the legal issues involved and the willingness of the parties to cooperate. It is generally more efficient than traditional litigation.

If the parties are unable to reach an agreement through collaborative practice, they may choose to pursue other dispute resolution methods, such as mediation or litigation.
