Collaborative Law differs from Mediation in that each party has a legal advisor present at all meetings. Both parties have the benefit of legal advice throughout the process.
Both parties have their own collaboratively trained lawyer. All four of you work together in a series of face-to-face meetings and all commit to reaching solutions by agreement rather than through court. Face-to-face communication between the parties can help to reduce costs and enables you to better work together in the future.
