The requirement to have lawyers on both sides on divorce has long been the source of frustration for many clients. The introduction of Resolution Together (RT) in 2022 gives the profession the means, in the right cases, to address this frustration. At Hunters we have been doing this work since 2023 and presently three of us in the department undertake it.

The launch of, and initial training in, RT was the end of a painstaking process undertaken by Resolution to build a robust scheme which has persuaded the SRA, CILEX, and the Bar that such a scheme was possible within existing regulatory constraints.

The concerns expressed by the SRA reflect the instinctive reaction of many lawyers at the thought of "a scheme whereby separating couples will be able to retain one legal professional to advise and assist them in reaching an informed and agreed outcome", which is how RT is defined.
