Goh Siu Lin and Denise Lim Co-Author Collaborative Law chapter in the 2nd edition of the “Law And Practice of Family Law in Malaysia” by Sweet & Maxwell.

Redefining Conflict Resolution for the Next Generation.

As the legal landscape shifts toward more sustainable, out-of-court solutions, our partners, Siu Lin and Denise were invited to provide their expertise on interdisciplinary collaborative practice. Their chapter, titled “Collaborative Law” serves as a core resource for law students and practitioners across the country.

Key insights from their contribution include:

• The Power of the Interdisciplinary Team: How the integration of financial neutrals and child specialists creates more durable outcomes for families.
• Ethical Innovation: Navigating the unique “disqualification agreement” that distinguishes collaborative law from traditional mediation.
• Future-Proofing Families: Strategies for using interest-based negotiation to preserve co-parenting relationships long after the legal process concludes.

Our Firm’s commitment to Collaborative Excellence.

We believe that litigation in family matters should be a last resort. This contribution underscores our firm’s position at the forefront of the collaborative movement. By educating the next generation of lawyers, our partners are helping to ensure that families have access to a dignified, private, and respectful path through transition.

Contributing to this textbook allowed us to reflect on how far collaborative practice has come. In 2026, it is no longer just an alternative; it is a gold standard for families seeking to protect their privacy and their children’s future.
