The Collaborative Law Group of the Kootenays is an association of independent lawyers, mediators, counsellors, child specialists and financial planners who team together to offer a  no court alternative to separating or divorcing couples in the Kootenays.  We offer collaborative practice in Nelson, Trail and in Cranbrook, British Columbia.

Collaborative practice is an internationally recognized alternative dispute resolution method that is well applied to divorce, separation and other civil disputes.

The members of the Collaborative Law Group of the Kootenays are each members of the International Academy of Collaborative Professionals.  We  join collaborative practice groups in the Okanagan, Vancouver, Victoria and around the world in offering a non-violent way to resolve legal disputes.
