Who Are The Cambridge Collaborative Family Law Group?
We are a group of like minded, experienced family lawyers [click here for Associated Professionals] who have many years experience advising on separation, divorce, children, finance and their implications for our clients.
We are members of Resolution (formerly the Solicitors Family Law Association) whose members’ aim is to avoid divorce or separation becoming a 'contest' with 'winners' and 'losers', but rather to achieve a fair outcome, putting the children first and fostering a working relationship between clients and solicitors.
