Collaborative Advocacy (White Plains, NY)
| All lawyers who practice Collaboratively know how challenging it can be to stay true to our Collaborative principles when we are in the heart of the negotiation. If the parties or the team are extra demanding, that challenge becomes all the more difficult. If you are not a lawyer, consider that the theme of Collaborative Advocacy is also important to you. The role of the neutral is immensely important to balance the role of the advocates. |
