Jeremy Culshaw and Kym Kerr are both members of Collaborative Professionsals (WA) Inc.
Lawyers who are trained in Collaborative Practice work with family law clients to resolve financial and parenting issues without going to court. Each party and their lawyer signs a participation agreement which establishes the ground rules for the collaborative process and confirms that court proceedings will not be commenced.
Negotiations take place at a series of face to face meetings with a focus on the parties retaining control of the process. Other professionals (eg. Accountants, valuers, child experts) may be engaged as appropriate. For more information on the collaborative process contact our collaborative practitioners, Kym Kerr and Jeremy Culshaw.
