Fundamentals of Collaborative Practice is an interdisciplinary training for lawyers, financial advisors, mental health professionals and other interested professionals in the basics of collaborative dispute resolution. The faculty consists of experienced professionals, many whom have trained other professionals in collaborative practice skills and theory throughout the United States and internationally. The two-day highly interactive program incorporates demonstrations and ‘hands on" participation in a unique and rich environment for learning.

 

Collaborative practice combines interest-based negotiation with the added security and benefits of attorney advocacy, without the threat of litigation. Divorce coaches help identify goals, interests and concerns while increasing the effectiveness of the process. Financial specialists provide multiple solutions to fit the parties' needs for projections and sophisticated tax analyses. Creative analysis of the issues, use of joint experts and informal team conferences are key components to providing resolution in an atmosphere free of impending litigation. With collaborative practice training you can offer your clients an alternative to litigation which resolves conflicts with dignity and respect.

 

After completing this training, you may be eligible for membership in the Massachusetts Collaborative Law Council (MCLC). The MCLC provides many opportunities to hone your collaborative skills through members’ meetings, networking, advances trainings and practice groups as well as to develop a collaborative practice.
