The collaborative process is a voluntary and confidential form of dispute resolution where two parties work together with a team of collaboratively trained professionals to avoid going to court. Don’t miss this online program that discusses how the collaborative process can effectively help your next family law case, the ethical considerations to be aware of, and the best practices you need to know when using this method for your client. Additional topics include: understanding how to discharge your duty of “zealous advocate” in the context of a collaborative process; limited scope representation throughout this process; and how this less adversarial option may impact your client’s outcome.
