Upcoming Virtual Event – Beyond Adversarial & Toward Amicable: How One Lawyer Can Help Both Spouses Separate Together

Russell Alexander’s Family Law Now  presents a virtual event with Melissa Bourgeois, Golan Yaron & Deepti Sharma.

The panel will explore the growing gap between what amicable separating families are asking for and the adversarial structures that continue to dominate family law practice. Using the One Lawyer Divorce Method as a concrete Canadian case study of how a non-adversarial model has been developed, tested, and regulated in response to that gap and how a one lawyer style of legal practice can make divorce kinder, quicker and easier.
