Karen J. Levitt, Levitt Law Group, LLC was recognized by the International Academy of Collaborative Professionals (“IACP”), for “10 years of powerful giving to families around the world” as a Sustaining Links Member.  Karen, a member of IACP, and a former member of its Board of Directors, has donated to IACP for 10 years in support of Collaborative Law.  Donations to IACP such as those made by Karen, are used for programming, training, events, supporting emerging leaders through scholarships, and helping to introduce families to Collaborative Law.  Collaborative Law is an out of court dispute resolution process used in divorce and other family law conflicts, which focuses on settlement by intention and legal advocacy rather than an adversarial process.  Both parties have counsel, neutral experts are used where needed, and settlement negotiations take place outside of court and in a confidential setting.  Collaborative Law is a very effective and efficient process that provides families with control over not just process but outcome.  For more information about Collaborative Law, go to www.collaborativepractice.com and www.massclc.org.
