An excellent article in the New Hampshire Bar Association web site this month on Collaborative Divorce extolling the benefits of Collaborative law to lawyers practicing outside of divorce practice.
Corporate and Commercial lawyers are suggested to perhaps benefit from reducing strain on corporate operations and corporate transactions which often accompany divorce of key employees and officers.
Wills and Estate practitioners are suggested to perhaps benefit from a process which allows their clients greater flexibility and cooperation in planning for devolution of their estates - often with the assistance of the same neutral financial professionals who facilitated a collaborative settlement.
The article, written by Collaborative lawyers, Lisa B. Forberg and Bruce L. Dorner, provides some excellent thoughts on how non-divorce lawyers may wish to consider the benefits of referring their clients to Collaborative lawyers when needed - and for those of us practicing Collaborative Divorce - you may wish to consider sending a copy of this article to fellow corporate, commercial and estate counsel.
Particularly poignant, I felt, was the comment that a divorce might better be considered a "problem to be solved, rather than a war to be won."
Indeed.
