Presenter: Jeffrey Urbach
Program Description:
The presenter will discuss the origin and current practice of collaborative law as an ADR method in matrimonial cases. The International Academy of Collaborative Practitioners (the IACP of which the presenter is a member) defines the basics of the collaborative divorce:
What is collaborative practice? Collaborative practice is a voluntary dispute resolution process in which parties settle without resort to litigation.
In collaborative practice:
- The parties sign a collaborative participation agreement describing the nature and scope of the matter.
- The parties voluntarily disclose all information which is relevant and material to the matter that must be decided.
- The parties agree to use good faith efforts in their negotiations to reach a mutually acceptable settlement.
- Each party must be represented by a lawyer whose representation terminates upon the undertaking of any contested court proceeding.
- The parties may engage mental health and financial professionals whose engagement terminates upon the undertaking of any contested court proceeding.
- The parties may jointly engage other experts as needed.
The presenter will discuss each of these six unique facets of the practice so attendees can make an informed decision about pursuing this niche.
After completing this course, you will be able to:
- Select and apply a basic understanding of collaborative law including:
- The mechanics of a case from start to finish.
- Communication modalities and protocols.
- Education and experience requirements.
- Who can serve on the “Team”.
- The “Team” process and where the financial neutral expert fits in.
- Identify and distinguish how the attorney's role differs from mediation, arbitration, or litigation.
- Select and describe the many hats and roles the financial neutral plays in the process.
- Recognize and evaluate if collaborative practice makes sense as a financial expert and as an individual. From a practice management perspective, the attendee can evaluate the pros and cons of collaborative practice for the firm or sole practitioner.
