Collaborative Law: The Nuts and Bolts

Several of our members will be making this presentation sponsored by the Illinois Bar Association.

Help your clients minimize conflicts and resolve differences by incorporating this litigation alternative into your practice! Whether it’s a divorce, a small business dispute, or a contested probate case, litigation is costly, emotional, and time-consuming for all parties involved. Meet your client’s needs to peacefully resolve disputes by learning the non-adversarial negotiation strategies of collaborative law, while enhancing your ability to work as a collaborative team. Topics include: the components of collaborative law, applying mediation techniques to the collaborative process, understanding the power of neutrality, using non-lawyer collaborative professionals to assist with the non-legal aspects of a case; and the ethical considerations of the collaborative process. Family practitioners, probate attorneys, mediators/arbitrators, and those who represent parties in closely-held small business disputes will benefit from the information presented throughout half-day this seminar. 3.50 MCLE hours, including 3.50 approved Professional Responsibility MCLE credit hours
