Using Collaborative Law to resolve multi-party homeowner-contractor disputes was the focus of a special program at the Massachusetts Collaborative Law Council’s (MCLC) annual meeting on March 12, 2015 at the Wellesley Community Center in Wellesley, MA.
A team of ten Collaborative Law professionals and attorneys presented a case scenario in which the parties to a homeowner–contractor-subcontractor dispute opted to use Collaborative Law to work through a structured negotiation of options for resolution. Participants included Collaborative lawyers Dan Finn, Maura Sullivan, Jeffrey Fink, Susan Klebanoff, William Coyle and Larry Balin, together with Collaborative professionals Linda Cohan, Scott Loring and David Goodman.
Collaborative lawyer and mediator Michael Zeytoonian moderated the presentation, providing insights as to the use of Collaborative Law and the techniques used by the lawyers throughout the presentation. An energetic question and answer period concluded the program.
The MCLC is a non-profit organization consisting of lawyers, financial advisors, mental health professionals and coaches dedicated to the promotion of Collaborative Law in Massachusetts and to educating and training lawyers and other professionals in Collaborative Law. Collaborative Law is used nationally and internationally in over 20 countries to resolve disputes in the practice areas of family, business, employment, contract and probate law.
