About IACP


A Global Community of Professionals

The International Academy of Collaborative Professionals (IACP) is a global community of dedicated professionals who believe in resolving disputes respectfully and creatively. Our members include lawyers, mental health experts, financial specialists, and other professionals who work together to create positive outcomes for families and individuals in times of conflict.

Mission


We are committed to advancing the practice of collaborative law and promoting peaceful, client-centered alternatives to litigation. Through education, resources, and advocacy, we empower professionals and the public to embrace a better way to resolve disputes—one that values respect, privacy, and the well-being of all parties involved.

Why Choose Collaborative Practice?


Collaborative practice is a unique approach to dispute resolution that prioritizes the needs and interests of all parties. Unlike traditional litigation, it emphasizes cooperation over conflict, creating solutions that work for families rather than dividing them. At its core, it’s about resolving disputes in a way that minimizes harm and fosters healing.
