Collaborative Law Is Becoming More Accessible To Albertans Than Ever Before. Here’s Why:

As a result of technology, and a push for the use of technology by the covid-pandemic, Collaborative Law is now more available to Albertans than ever before.

When Courts face an undeterminable number of adjournments and scheduling delays, Collaborative Law works at the pace of the parties involved.

The Collaborative process can work remotely and families that are facing a break-up in a community with no collaboratively trained lawyers, can retain collaboratively trained lawyers in other communities.

Digital meetings on Zoom, Skype, or the like offer more than just flexibility in meeting times and locations. Virtual meetings offer a sense of safety, security, and even comfort for people that don’t want to meet in the same physical space.

Virtual meetings can also offer more of a balance of power or knowledge when an imbalance exists. Virtual meetings also offer a different structure than a personal meeting, where parties are more cognizant and careful about speaking over each other, which helps avoid fuelling an argument.
