Collaborative Practice is a voluntary dispute resolution process in which parties settle without resort to litigation.

In Collaborative Practice:

  • The parties sign a collaborative participation agreement describing the nature and scope of the matter;
  • The parties voluntarily disclose all information which is relevant and material to the matter that must be decided;
  • The parties agree to use good faith efforts in their negotiations to reach a mutually acceptable settlement;
  • Each party must be represented by a lawyer whose representation terminates upon the undertaking of any contested court proceeding;
  • The parties may engage mental health and financial professionals whose engagement terminates upon the undertaking of any contested court proceeding; and
  • The parties may jointly engage other experts as needed.
