WORK HISTORY
Partner @Thornton Jones Solicitors

Family Law Solicitor, Mediator and Collaborative Lawyer. I have been a qualified solicitor since 1995, specialising in Family Law. I am a member of Resolution and subscribe to their code of practise to handle divorce and separation cases in as amicable and constructive way as possible. My particular expertise is Collaborative law, which is a relatively new way of handling cases avoiding Court and instead getting \"round the table\". I am also a Resolution accredited Mediator.

SKILLS
ABOUT CLARE THORNTON
I have been a family law specialist solicitor since 1995 and now further specialise in the area of collaborative law and mediation including child inclusive mediation. I am also one of a handful of qualified family arbitrators. I believe that divorce and separation should be dealt with, wherever possible, within the family and not by judges. Collaboration, mediation and arbitration are all ways of avoiding court and reaching swift amicable solutions for families who are separating. I am passionate family law and dispute resolution and, my colleagues and staff and Thornton Jones Family Law share that drive for high quality service and support for families going through separation. I also believe in sharing my expertise and am often asked to speak to various professional groups and run workshops at conferences. I am running a workshop at this year\'s national Dispute Resolution Conference in Nottingham and the Northern Lights conference in Leeds. I am proud to have recently won the Yorkshire Lawyer Award for Dispute Resolution.
