Resolution Together
This is a new way of working that allows one lawyer to advise you and your former partner together, helping you create your own solutions and retain a constructive post-separation relationship.
Resolution Together differs from the traditional way of dealing with a divorce where each party has their own lawyer, as both clients can receive legal advice on a jointly beneficial basis.

How Does Resolution Together Work?
Resolution Together is suitable for separating couples whose joint aim is to reach an outcome together which meets both of their needs, and if they are parents, the needs of their children. Resolution Together can succeed if you are both emotionally able and willing together, and prepared to be open and transparent, sharing all relevant information.
Is Resolution Together Right for Me?
Our lawyers are trained in making sure the process is suitable and safe as this will not be suitable for all couples.
This may not be suitable if:
- There is a lack of transparency over financial information
- There has been abuse in the relationship,
- Safeguarding or capacity concerns
- Highly acrimonious relationship or any obvious power imbalance
Frequently Asked Questions
If Resolution Together doesn’t result in a resolution, you can explore other forms of dispute resolution. The process is really flexible, and alternative options can be considered based on the specific circumstances.
Resolution Together can potentially be more cost-effective as you are sharing legal representation, but there are lots of other factors you’ll need to consider such as how complicated your issues, how much time they take to resolve and whether you need to bring in any additional experts. All costs will be discussed to make sure we proceed with the most cost-effective solution for you.
