What are the primary advantages of collaborative law?
Proponents of the collaborative process claim that shifting from an adversarial to a collaborative process saves time, money and relationships. By mutually committing to resolution, parties may avoid the time and expense of formal discovery and may in some instances have the settlement entered in court without having to appear personally. Also, unlike a neutral mediator, the parties’ attorneys offer their clients legal advice, so parties may feel more equipped to enter a settlement.
