The Collaborative Law Process
The Collaborative Law Process is a respectful, problem-solving approach to resolving disputes, often used in family or legal matters. It involves each party working with specially trained attorneys and other professionals, like mediators or financial experts, to reach a mutually satisfactory agreement without going to court. The focus is on open communication, cooperation, and finding solutions that work for everyone involved. If negotiations break down, the process typically involves new legal representation, as the initial attorneys cannot continue. This approach aims to reduce conflict, save time, and promote more collaborative, lasting resolutions.
