Collaborative law and mediation are actually very, very different. In mediation, you have one person who’s a neutral: they’re going to be working with both parties, and the parties would have attorneys, but they would be someone outside of the process – so, they would just consult with them. In collaborative law, you have your attorneys in the room, and you’re not working with somebody who’s a neutral; you’re working – both parties having representation, but you still have the greater goal of settlement.
