Join us on October 25th for a panel discussion on the fundamentals of building a Collaborative practice. Experienced Collaborative professionals will share with you their views on how to introduce the concept to clients and how to screen out inappropriate cases. The basic principles of Collaborative Law will be reviewed and some of the most popular myths will be dispelled.
