Separating couples across Essex and Suffolk now have greater access to a constructive, one-lawyer approach through Ellisons. Anna Cross, Legal Director in the Family Team, has qualified to deliver Resolution Together, an innovative service that helps both parties navigate separation with dignity and support.
Resolution Together enables couples to work with one impartial lawyer to agree arrangements for their children, finances and future. The approach supports clients in reducing conflict, saving costs and avoiding the stress of going to court.
Since introducing the model, Ellisons has already seen strong early uptake, with several families choosing this constructive and cost-effective route.
Anna joins colleagues Sally Ward (Senior Associate) and Samantha Chase (Associate) in Ellisons’ team of Resolution Together trained solicitors. The firm also has collaboratively trained lawyers, Sally Ward and Samantha Markham (Associate), who are able to act for individuals under the Collaborative Law model, providing a wide range of constructive options for clients.
Lisa Dawson, Partner and Head of Family at Ellisons, said: “Anna’s qualification reflects our commitment to offering clients options that help them move forward in a positive way. Resolution Together is transforming how families approach separation, helping them resolve issues with less stress, lower costs and a focus on what matters most. This strengthens our Family Team’s ability to support clients during what is often a very difficult time.”
Anna Cross added: “Resolution Together gives separating couples the chance to navigate one of life’s toughest transitions in a more supportive and constructive way. Helping both parties reach agreements that work for their family, without court battles, is hugely rewarding.”
Ellisons’ Family Team advises clients on all aspects of family law, including separation, divorce, financial arrangements and matters involving children.
