Collaborative law Collaborative law is a distinct form of legal practice in which two lawyers represent both parties, focusing on resolution and solving problems. If all matters are not resolved, the lawyers and any retained neutral experts withdraw.
Cooperative Law Both Cooperative and Collaborative law utilize one neutral expert per subject matter, as reasonably required, not forensic experts. However, in Cooperative law, if an impasse results and court is required, the lawyers may continue to be engaged in the court process, utilizing the judge as an additional resource of cooperation.
