In cases where there is a need to create, and/or preserve, relationships between or among parties, collaborative law is an excellent option. All parties and all lawyers enter into a written agreement that there will be no threat or action towards going outside of the process. All agree that if that need arises, they must do so with new lawyers. The Collaborative lawyers will not and do not go to court for their clients in this case. This is an exciting new opportunity for all to work with and not against the participants in a joint effort to reach consensus and resolution in areas of actual or threatened conflict.
