Resolve conflict fluidly…enabling growth and vitality into your life.
The important difference between Collaborative Practice and conventional, adversarial litigation is your commitment to reaching an agreement without going to court. That way you maintain control of the process and the decisions instead of relinquishing them to a judge, jury or often in practice, your lawyer. To reach this goal, the parties agree not to seek court intervention by adhering to the negotiation process and focusing on settlement by design from the outset.
