What is Collaborative Practice? Collaborative Practice is fundamentally a new model and set of rules about how to solve legal disputes. Instead of racing to court, Collaborative participants agree not to go to court. Instead of spending thousands of dollars answering many irrelevant questions, Collaborative participants agree to provide each other with all relevant information. Instead of focusing on what is wrong with the other person, Collaborative attorneys and participants work together as a team to resolve their differences. In traditional litigation, each side often hires expensive experts who come up with opposite opinions. In the Collaborative approach, all experts work for both participants. Traditionally, the court and attorneys determine when progress occurs. In Collaborative Practice, you control the pace. Instead of having your court file open to anyone with access to the internet, most if not all of your personal information is kept private in Collaborative Practice.
