Why relying on AI for family law advice can be a false economy
AI tools can be useful for research, but using them for personalised legal advice can lead to misinformation, unnecessary stress and potentially greater cost
Alison is trusted and admired for her work on all areas of family law, from prenups to divorce to international child abduction
Alison McKee heads Lindsays’ award-winning Family Law team, and has over 15 years’ experience of working in family law and child law. She’s accredited by the Law Society of Scotland as a specialist in both of these areas, and highly regarded by peers and clients alike.
Alison uses her experience to guide clients through all areas of family law, including financial provision on divorce, pre- and post-nuptial agreements, cohabitation agreements, international child abduction, and surrogacy. This includes supporting them in the Sheriff Court and Court of Session.
However, she believes that Collaborative Law approaches often produce more practical and constructive outcomes for children and families than going to court, and will readily show couples and families how to make this work in their own situations.
She is a member of the Family Law Association, the Scottish Collaborative Family Law Group, and the International Academy of Collaborative Professionals.
