Spear’s Review

David Margo, founder of Divorce Solutions, says his approach to divorce coaching sets his business apart: ‘We’re not dealing with the emotional side of divorce. We’re giving guidance to people and saying, “Look, you really don’t need to pursue a certain course of action, because it’s going to be really expensive.”’

This pragmatic approach stems from Margo’s background as a commercial lawyer, which allows him to offer valuable insights without providing legal advice. This includes encouraging clients to consider alternative dispute resolution, including mediation, and seeking direct access to barristers.

Margo’s inspiration came from an encounter with a woman who was going through a divorce and didn’t know where to begin. It led him to realise that many people were likely making costly mistakes because they didn’t know where to turn. ‘So I set up this consultancy so that people could come to us, tell us their story and we can get the right process to them.’
