WELCOME TO CATH KARLIN FAMILY LAW
Hello,
I am providing you with an update on what I have been doing throughout the COVID-19 outbreak to ensure that my level of service to you remains at as high a standard as possible and that I am providing you and your family with the support you require at this most challenging of times. It goes without saying that we also need to do what we can to ensure the safety and good health of our community.
With this in mind and following the guidance from the UK and Scottish Governments, our office on Queen Street, Edinburgh is now closed. However, I remain available to you via email, telephone and zoom video conferencing. Please be reassured that from the outset, I have embraced technology and the firm is well equipped to offer you “a business as usual“ service. I have an international client base and many of my clients are used to dealing with me in a seamless fashion remotely.
One area, however, which has almost ceased is in relation to court cases. Any new non-urgent cases and protective measures for children will not be dealt with and all existing non–urgent family cases will be frozen. This means that we will need to use the other means of dispute resolution that I have long advocated for, such as mediation and collaborative practice, to resolve disputes.
I would ask that you continue to correspond by telephone or email and that, for now, you do not send us anything via the post, including cheques, as we will have no immediate means of dealing with this.
As ever, I am here to support you and will be commencing a series of blogs on how to manage family relations through enforced isolation.
I hope that you and your loved ones stay safe and well.
Best wishes,
Cath
