As professionals, helping those in grief navigate an estate dispute or facilitating family succession conversations before death can be challenging.

We strive to be compassionate and aim to find peaceful outcomes, but this can be difficult when the most commonly adopted pathway is a litigious one that carries with it the threat of ending up in court. Even if mediation ultimately results in settlement it is often only after significant costs have already been incurred and family relationships have been damaged beyond repair.

The Collaborative Law process is an early-intervention, multidisciplinary dispute resolution framework based on an agreement by the parties and their lawyers not to litigate.

The emphasis is on creative problem solving, negotiation and co-operation to settle conflict.

Multidisciplinary

The multidisciplinary model means that family members facing an estate dispute (before death or after death) can be supported by communications coaches and have access to shared financial advice so they can be supported to make informed decisions about their future in a calm, open and measured way.

I am excited about everything and have particularly appreciated the tools and the food for thought gained in the training.

I am very conscious of the tools learned and the explanation about human reactions and neuroscience it has been extraordinarily helpful and worthwhile. I thought it [the training] was great, I very much enjoyed the interactive nature of it and the way it was presented, the role plays were challenging at first but ended up being quite fun – you were both great presenters and teachers and very informative – you’ve put a huge amount of work into creating an interesting, educational and very valuable body of knowledge and presented it in a way that was very considerate of attendees – you had our undivided attention on the day.”
