Collaborative Law is a unique process used to resolve disputes in which both parties retain separate lawyers whose only job is to help the parties settle their disputes. It is a process of open communication between the parties and their respective lawyers.

All of the participants agree to work together in a collaborative manner. If the lawyers are not successful in helping the clients resolve the disputes, the lawyers must withdraw and cannot participate in court proceedings.

This agreement that the lawyers will not go to court requires the lawyers and the parties to look at the dissolution process in a different way.
