|  | Collaborative Law | A relatively new discipline in Irish legal circles, Collaborative Law is an alternative way to resolve family disputes. Its aim is to assist couples reach a fair and equitable agreement based on reasoned judgment and realistic aspirations. It minimises the involvement of the Courts in such cases.

Collaborative Law encourages the parties to try to resolve their difficulties in a non confrontational manner, with the help of their Collaborative Lawyers and differs from the traditional adversarial approach.
Collaborative Law involves the parties meeting face to face with their Collaborative Lawyers present. It ensures they have a direct influence on the outcome of their Family Law difficulties and is geared towards the future and ongoing wellbeing of the family as a whole. |
