What is Collaborative Law?
Legal disputes are common among people in all walks of life. The most familiar method of solving these disputes is by going to court, where the issues are solved either when the lawyers negotiate a settlement or when the judge makes a decision… But going to court isn’t always the best option.
Collaborative law offers people another option. It is a process for resolving issues with the advice and assistance of lawyers but without going to court. All parties and their lawyers sign a contract agreeing not to go to court. They commit to work together in meetings in a non-adversarial, respectful way to find solutions that work for everyone involved in the conflict.
