Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is Resolve?
Resolve is a service we provide to separating couples where one experienced lawyer (or a team under that lawyer’s leadership) advises you together. Elsewhere it is called “1 lawyer 2 clients” or “1 lawyer 1 couple”.
Unlike in more traditional family law services, where a lawyer only advises one client, with Resolve the lawyer is able to advise both of you if you each choose to manage your separation or divorce together and we are satisfied that it is in your interests for us to advise in this way.
Q: What happens if we can't reach an agreement?
Once it is clear that it will not be possible for agreement to be reached, a conflict will have arisen meaning that a single lawyer can no longer act for you both. At that point we would inform you both of other options for taking your matter forward such as solicitors’ negotiations, hybrid mediation (where a mediator who may hold confidences shuttles between you), or arbitration (where an expert third party will make a decision for you). Court proceedings will usually be a last resort.
Q: Is one lawyer allowed to advise both of us?
Yes. Solicitors cannot act for two clients whose interests are in conflict, or potentially in conflict. However, where you have a common interest in reaching a fair solution without going to court, there maybe no conflict, meaning we are permitted to advise you both. Both of you will need to agree to one lawyer acting for you both and we will need to be satisfied that it is reasonable for us to act for you both.
The fact that you may initially have different ideas about what you would like to achieve does not amount to conflict so long as you are both willing to negotiate.
Q: How long does it take?
Using one lawyer instead of two enables cases to progress significantly faster. Much will depend on the complexity of your situation and the pace you both wish to progress, but most financial cases will take a minimum of around three to four months to reach the point at which we are ready to submit a draft order to court.

*Our services are best suited to those with family assets in excess of £500,000
Q: Can we use Resolve to agree arrangements for our finances and our children?
Yes. Whether you want to resolve both financial arrangements and arrangements for children, or only one of these, Resolve can help, so long as your joint aim is to reach an outcome that meets your needs and, where relevant, those of your children.
Q: Our assets are quite complex. Can we use Resolve?
Absolutely. We are quite used to matters involving complex and substantial asset bases, and this experience can be applied in whatever process is being adopted. We can also invite financial specialists (e.g. accountants, independent financial advisors (IFAs), pension specialists) into the process whenever they might be needed.
Q: How is Resolve different to mediation?
In Resolve, the lawyer provides you both with legal advice, explaining how the law applies to your circumstances and setting out the range of possible outcomes. By contrast, a mediator, even if they are a lawyer, is not permitted to give legal advice – their role is to facilitate discussions, with each of you taking your own legal advice.
