Flexible Legal Support Designed Around Your Needs
Traditional family law services often involve a lawyer managing every aspect of a matter.
Unbundled legal services provide a flexible alternative by allowing clients to choose specific legal services they need while managing other aspects themselves.
This approach can provide greater control, transparency and cost flexibility.
Unbundled services may include:
Advice Only
Providing legal advice about your rights, options and recommended strategy.
Document Preparation and Review
Including:
- Drafting letters
- Preparing Court documents
- Reviewing documents prepared by clients
- Assisting with settlement documentation
Negotiation Support
Including:
- Negotiation coaching before mediation or settlement discussions
- Strategic advice regarding offers
- Negotiating directly on your behalf
Mediation and Court Assistance
Including:
- Preparing you for mediation
- Attending mediation with you
- Representing you at mediation
- Appearing on your behalf where appropriate
Financial Agreement Advice
Including:
- Independent legal advice for Binding Financial Agreements
- Reviewing proposed agreements
- Explaining legal rights and consequences
All unbundled services are supported by a written limited scope engagement agreement, clearly identifying the services provided and the responsibilities of both the client and lawyer.
