A PARTNER at a Reading-based law firm is preparing to help train lawyers dealing with clients undergoing a family separation.
Tasha Bevan-Stewart, who worked for Blandy & Blandy, formed a team to work on a collaborative approach to divorce where there are families involved. The project is in conjunction with the family law body Resolution.
Training had been paused during the early stages of the covid pandemic, and it has been adapted for the post-lockdown life.
“Collaborative divorce is a way for couples to sort out their financial and other arrangements with each of them having a lawyer present at round table meetings, adopting a constructive problem-solving approach,” Ms Bevan-Stewart said.
“It allows other professionals such as financial advisers to consult and be part of the team.”
Ms Bevan-Stewart is also co-chair of Resolution’s Collaborative Practice Working Party.
