Resolution promotes a constructive approach and the use of dispute resolution methods, such as mediation and collaborative law. Members are bound by Resolution's Code of Practice, which requires a non-confrontational approach and encouraging clients to reach fair agreements but minimise conflict and distress. This includes being firm but fair, and taking immediate and decisive action where necessary.

Law Society established the Family Law Panel to identify solicitors and legal executives who specialise in family law, and have sufficient experience and knowledge. The Family Law Protocol aims encourage a constructive and conciliatory approach though narrowing the issues in dispute. It encourages effective and timely resolution to ensure that costs are not unreasonably incurred. Proper regard is given to the interests of the children and long-term family relationships, but risks to the parties and/or the children are minimised, and safety is a primary concern.
