Collaborative Practice is a dispute resolution process designed to keep parties out of Court and focused on settlement from the outset. The process employs the skills of collaborative professionals in a team approach designed to assist parties to reach lasting solutions together.
Collaborative Practice is a process which can be used to resolve disputes in many areas. It had its beginnings in the area of family law and has fundamentally changed the way couples resolve relationship breakdown. It is particularly suited to the resolution of financial and parenting issues arising from separation and divorce because of its focus on the particular needs of the parties and their children.
Unlike Court based processes and more traditional negotiations, Collaborative Practice is non-adversarial in nature. In Collaborative Practice the parties and collaborative professionals, including lawyers, financial advisors, mental health professionals and child specialists work together to reach the best possible solutions for the parties and their families.
