What does Client Advocacy mean to you?
How does advocacy integrate into the Collaborative Process? Are there limitations?
What does neutrality mean? How do you use Neutrals to enhance the advocacy role?
These questions and many more are part of an advanced Collaborative Advocacy Workshop hosted by the Collaborative Family Law Council of Wisconsin on March 10 and 11, 2021 from 9:30 am to 12:30 pm Central Standard Time each day.
Victoria Smith and Deborah Graham, both acclaimed trainers and attorneys in Toronto, will conduct this highly interactive session. It will be limited to only forty participants. The fee is $295.00, and the Council will apply for six CLE for Wisconsin participants. Any member of a collaborative practice group is eligible to participate at the "member" rate. You will be asked to confirm your practice group.
This Zoom meeting will require an audio and video connection.
The Agenda for the session is on the CLFCW Member website at this link, and online registration is available.
