Sinopsis

Collaborative law engages the unique problem-solving skills of lawyers to achieve settlements that customize outcomes in the way that few courts can achieve. Becoming proficient in the area requires time for training and practice to hone these specialized skills. This book provides a rich, practice-tested guide to turning an interest in moving away from litigating family law cases, and providing clients with the collaborative approach that they are seeking in increasing numbers. The editors, Forrest S. (Woody) Mosten and Adam Cordover are both family lawyers who no longer go to court for their clients. With the help of many experienced collaborative attorneys, this book explains that it is imperative for attorneys to learn how to financially sustain their own practices in this area. Thanks to the guidance from successful collaborative practitioners sharing their wisdom, Mosten and Cordover demonstrate it is possible to build a rewarding family law practice built on peacemaking. Building a Successful Collaborative Family Law Practice is a unique resource that explains precisely what´s needed to successfully implement a collaborative family law practice. In clear and concise chapters, these veteran practitioners explain issues such as: - Creating a profitable peacemaking practice- Whether to accept both litigation and collaborative work- How to gain collaborative clients- Creating a collaborative office space- The importance of the first client meeting- Fine-tuning the collaborative team- Choosing the collaborative model that fits you best- Collaborative child specialists- Drafting collaborative agreements- Working in the inter-professional environment, and more Accessible to attorneys new to collaborative practice and to those more experienced in the practice, as well as to non-legal professionals in related fields, this tool-kit is an important, step-by-step resource for attorneys responding to the tremendous growth of collaborative practice.
