Collaborative Law
With nearly half of all marriages ending in divorce, Collaborative Law offers an alternative to traditional litigation.  Through Collaborative Law, the parties and their attorneys agree to resolve the issue without going to court.

Malcolm McCollam is a founding member of Collaborative Lawyers of Oklahoma, and currently serves as its president.
In a collaborative law case, divorcing spouses, with the assistance of specially trained family law attorneys, negotiate the issues in a controlled, safe, private and respectful environment.  These structured negotiations take place in a four-way meeting between the spouses and their lawyers.  The lawyers act as advocates for their clients, but utilize their special training to facilitate settlement.  The lawyers focus on structuring settlements that meet each spouse's interests.  In advance, the lawyers agree not to take part in any litigation that may occur if an agreement isn't reached.  This allows the lawyers to focus on reaching a settlement, rather than wasting your time and money posturing for a trial.  In the rare instance an agreement cannot be reached, the parties are free to hire successor counsel to take their cast to court.

Mediation
In many instances a professional mediator can help parties resolve their disputes without the stress, expense and uncertainty of going to court.  A mediator serves as a neutral third-party and does not represent either party.  Mediations are voluntary and informal, and can take place with or without attorneys present.

Malcolm is trained as a mediator for both business and domestic disputes, and with his vast knowledge and experience in settling disputes, can help both parties find a cost effective solution.
