Name: Mundays - Solicitors in Surrey, UK

Description: Mundays are proud to have a team of five specialist family lawyers.

Their aim is to achieve fair and constructive outcomes by using their expertise, communicating clearly and effectively.

Family law in England & Wales is changing all the time and it is important to obtain advice as quickly as possible.

Graham Coy, who leads the team, is a trained Mediator and Collaborative Lawyer, as well as being an experienced family lawyer.

The department also has the assistance of Ruth Smallacombe. Ruth is a very experienced family consultant who is able to provide a confidential service to clients who feel they would benefit from additional emotional support while experiencing marriage or relationship breakdown.

Collaborative Law offers each of the couple the opportunity to have their own independent legal advice and also to actively take part themselves in negotiating an agreement about all the issues, for example, finance, children and the divorce itself.

All negotiations take place in ?four way? settlement meetings which both clients and their lawyers attend.

As part of the Collaborative Law Agreement, neither the clients nor the lawyers can ever resort to Court proceedings or threaten to go to Court. Settlement is the only option. If either client does decide to start Court proceedings, both collaborative lawyers are automatically disqualified from any further involvement on behalf of their clients.

As a result, all four people involved in the process have an inbuilt commitment to doing their utmost to ensure that agreement is reached and that agreement is reached as quickly as possible, as cost effectively as possible and in such a way as to minimise conflict, not only between them but also with other members of the family, including their children.

Legal advice remains an integral part of the process but all decisions are reached by the clients themselves after taking independent legal advice.
