We believe a legal system based on conflict with \u201cwinners\u201d and \u201closers\u201d is unnecessary and unproductive for many separating couples.<\/p>\n<p>Collaborative Practice addresses the practical and emotional aspects of ending a relationship through the related fields of law, finance, and family counselling. We take a holistic approach that considers all aspects of separation to minimize the stress for everyone.\u00a0 It can also be used to negotiate cohabitation agreements.<\/p>\n<p>Collaborative Practice is a customized, affordable alternative to litigation and mediation that provides the essential tools for couples. It offers a non-confrontational, cooperative, and efficient process that meets the needs of families\u2014 especially if the spouses will be co-parenting children.<\/p>\n<h2>Specially trained professional team<\/h2>\n<p>Collaborative Practice allows spouses to choose their own legal counsel, with the option to integrate financial and family relations professionals into the team. Each professional team member is specially trained and certified in collaborative negotiations. \u00a0Our lawyers, financial professionals, and family relations counsellors work together, where required, to help separating couples conduct productive discussions about their issues in a safe, cooperative environment.<\/p>\n<h2>Related Services<\/h2>\n<p>In addition to legal, financial, and family relations professionals selected by clients to assist as part of a negotiating team, other professionals are available to provide both the spouses and the team with related and ancillary services, such as individual counsellors, coaches, mediators, parenting coordinators, appraisers, business valuators, insurance specialists, mortgage brokers, and real estate agents.\u00a0 These related professionals are familiar with the principles of Collaborative Practice.\u00a0 So if the negotiating team needs some special expertise or individual professional assistance, there are resources available to meet those needs.<\/p>\n<h2>Choose your team from a roster<\/h2>\n<p>Collaborative Practice Ottawa, which is the local group of collaborative professionals, offers a roster of experienced and specially trained collaborative lawyers, financial professionals and family relations counsellors, as well as related service providers.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to offering this option for <a href=\"https:\/\/lmrlawyers.com\/services\/family-law-practice-group\/\" target=\"_blank\">Family Law<\/a> matters, it can also be used to address issues that arise in <a href=\"https:\/\/lmrlawyers.com\/services\/estate-and-succession-planning-practice-group\/\" target=\"_blank\">Trusts and Estates<\/a> matters.<\/p>\n<p>Low Murchison Radnoff LLP would be pleased to provide you with the Collaborative option to resolve your dispute.
