Doncaster solicitor is new Chair of South Yorkshire & District Resolution

Family solicitor, Alison Straw, a partner at Doncaster legal practice Taylor Bracewell, has taken over the mantle as Chair of South Yorkshire and District Resolution (an organisation whose members follow a code of practice and are committed to the constructive resolution of family disputes).  Already an accredited specialist in finance and children, a trained collaborative lawyer (a method of resolving family disputes without going to court, where partners work face to face with a lawyer by their side), and the collaborative liaison officer for Doncaster and Rotherham, as well as a member of the Children Panel, Alison does not shy away from her added responsibility and says; “I have been involved with Resolution for almost 20 years and I am really looking forward to my new challenge.   As always, we will be very busy this year debating, deliberating – and challenging – the family justice system, as well as helping to keep members in the region up to date with other issues, and of course a bit of socialising too!.  We have already started on an exciting programme of events and we look forward to welcoming existing and new members to get active and involved. Please feel free to contact me, or look at our web site for information about the events, or for more information about Resolution, please visit its web site at www.resolution.org.uk”

Alison, a former Doncaster Grammar School pupil came back to her roots in 2007, joining Taylor Bracewell after 18 years as a partner at Irwin Mitchell in Sheffield and Leeds.  She has over 21 years’ experience in divorce, finance, children issues and complex, high value financial cases.
