About us
In obtaining an accreditation with Resolution, solicitors have subscribed not only to the Resolution Code of Practice, but are also able to claim to have achieved a standard of quality and expertise that is of the highest level. To achieve this standard, they have had to undertake a rigorous assessment, not only in their specialised subjects, but also in the general areas in which family solicitors operate.
We, the York Group, are in contact with our members on a regular basis and keen to promote our activities and the Resolution ethos. We strive to use fellow accredited specialists (specialists) as our agents, and to promote the accreditation process and quality mark.

About Resolution
Now in its 25th year, Resolution, which was formerly known as the Solicitors Family Law Association (SFLA), is an organisation of 5000 lawyers who believe in a constructive, non-confrontational approach to family law matters. Resolution also campaigns for improvements to the family justice system.
Resolution supports the development of family lawyers through its national and regional training programmes, through publications and good practice guides and through its accreditation scheme. Resolution also trains and accredits mediators and is the only body providing training and support for collaborative lawyers in England and Wales.
Encouraging good practice
The cornerstone of membership of Resolution is adherence to the Code of Practice, which sets out the principles of a non-confrontational approach to family law matters. The principles of the code are widely recognised and have been adopted by the Law Society as recommended good practice for all family lawyers.
The code requires lawyers to deal with each other in a civilised way and to encourage their clients to put their differences aside and reach fair agreements.
