Collaborative work is different from traditional legal, mental health, or financial work because you are working as part of a team. Skill building in the Collaborative Process and working with a team is a strong part of KCCL values. We will support your efforts to excel in your Collaborative practice.

Members of KCCL have many opportunities for learning and networking with other Collaborative professionals at a variety of experience levels. You will get to know members of the Collaborative community and they will get to know you when you attend Family Law Practice Group meetings and participate in committee work.

Collaborative practice is largely referral based. Because we work on teams, one of source of business is client referrals from other Collaborative professionals. Your participation allows other professionals to know you and builds confidence in referrals. Many Collaborative professionals direct clients to the KCCL Professional Directory for referrals because a listing gives certain assurances. KCCL membership identifies you as a trained Collaborative professional who meets the IACP standards for a Collaborative practitioner and confirms your commitment to ongoing training and learning. It shows that you are serious about your Collaborative practice, and that you are an active participant in the Collaborative community.

Being a member of KCCL signals to potential clients and other professionals that you have the training and commitment necessary to do high quality Collaborative work.
