On 5th March 2008 Pickerings Solicitors LLP hosted the launch of Collaborative Law in South Staffordshire. Helen Jackson and Cath Longshaw presented "The Benefits of the Collaborative Approach in Family Disputes". The event was attended by the Mayor and Mayoress of Tamworth and representatives from professional organisations who have dealings with people experiencing family breakdown.

Ann Hume, Collaborative Solicitor says, "Collaborative law is an alternative approach to divorce designed to avoid bitter court battles about children and finances." For further details on this innovative approach to divorce consult www.staffscollaborativelaw.co.uk or www.pickerings-solicitors.com
