Often attorneys who have not been trained and have not gained experience in the Collaborative Process think they are cooperative and pragmatic enough to participate in a Collaborative case and that the Collaborative Process is not dramatically different from how they practice. Very little of law school or traditional practice prepares an attorney for the Collaborative Process. Attorneys specifically trained in Collaborative Practice have learned a unique conflict resolution skill set. To work together as a Collaborative team, the Attorneys need to be on the same page. Therefore, your chances of success are greatly increased if both Attorneys are sufficiently trained in the Collaborative Process.
