At GloverPriest, we offer collaborative law support from our Lichfield office, where most meetings take place face-to-face with Louise Dewell, one of our experienced collaborative practitioners.
If you’re exploring a more amicable route to separation, we’ll help you decide whether collaborative law is the right route for you. Speak to our team to get started.
How GloverPriest Can Help
Our collaborative solicitors are specially trained to guide separating couples through this process with empathy, structure, and practical advice.

How the Collaborative Law Process Works
Once the participation agreement is signed, the process is built around a series of round-table meetings. These are attended by both of you and your respective collaborative solicitors. The pace and number of meetings can be tailored to your situation, allowing time for reflection and informed decision-making.
Everything discussed during these meetings is open and transparent. Unlike traditional correspondence between solicitors, this approach encourages honesty, cooperation, and more direct communication.
If either party decides to end the process or take the matter to court, both collaborative lawyers must step aside – meaning you would need to appoint new legal representatives. This helps keep everyone focused on achieving a resolution within the process.
Is Collaborative Law Right for You?
Collaborative law could be the best and most amicable solution for separating couples if:
- You both want to avoid going to court
- You’re committed to working together to find a fair solution
- You value having your solicitor present throughout
- You need space to explore financial or parenting arrangements in more depth
- You want to maintain a constructive, ongoing relationship
It’s not right for every situation – especially if there’s a power imbalance, serious conflict, or urgency that needs court intervention. If you’re unsure whether collaborative law is the right approach, we’ll walk you through your options and help you decide what’s best for your circumstances.
