The collaborative practice of law is a way of practicing law whereby the lawyers for both of the parties to a family dispute agree to assist the parties in resolving conflict using cooperative strategies rather than adversarial techniques and litigation. Early nonadversarial participation by the lawyers allows them to use attributes of good lawyering frequently not utilized in the usual adversarial proceedings---namely use of analysis and reasoning to solve problems, generation of options and creation of a positive atmosphere for settlement.
