Ashford Law and Dispute Resolution is a law firm specializing predominantly in family law. Ferne Ashford has over 20 years of experience in the family law field. While Ferne may be more than capable of representing your interests in the court room (having experience in both the Court of Queenâs Bench and the Court of Appeal) she prefers to use her mediation and collaborative skills to assist clients in resolving their differences outside of the adversarial process, if possible. In addition, Ferne is skilled in real estate transactions (buying, selling, refinancing) and wills and estates.

Collaborative law is a type of dispute resolution that works very well for matters involving the family. It is similar to mediation but with a twist. With Collaborative law you are avoiding court by addressing your issues in a mediation-like setting but instead of having one mediator that does not provide legal advice, each of you attend the collaborative law session with your individual lawyers. By attending a series of four way meetings (you, your âspouseâ, your lawyer and your spouseâs lawyer) you are committed to finding resolution in a fair, respectful setting while having an advocate with you throughout the process. All four parties sign a contract at the outset that states that they are committed to not resorting to litigation and that they will work together to find a resolution that meets the needs of all parties in a satisfactory way. Should the process be unsuccessful, the lawyers must withdraw and the parties are free to find alternate counsel and proceed to court if required. That said, we have found that once people are committed to the process all involved parties become motivated to dedicate themselves to finding a resolution that avoids litigation. Collaborative law is a way to help you and your partner craft your own resolution to your difficulties and avoid the expense and emotional impact of litigation.
