About SSCP
Good outcomes are built together.
Southern Sydney Collaborative Professionals brings together collaboratively trained lawyers, coaches, psychologists, financial advisers and accountants.
We help separating couples solve legal, financial and parenting questions without turning their family’s future into a court battle.
The collaborative difference
One table. One team. A shared way forward.
Build the team
A neutral coach may facilitate the process, with financial professionals or child consultants brought in when useful.
Share information
Everyone signs a Participation Agreement and commits to open, respectful communication and full disclosure.
The right expertise, when you need it
Your professional team
Collaborative lawyers
Each person has independent legal advice while both lawyers work towards a durable agreement, not a courtroom contest.
Collaborative coach

Financial professional
An impartial expert can organise financial information, explain options and help both people make informed decisions.
