A Message from
Co-Presidents Angela Heart & Brian Burns
Fellow CLI Members:
First, we want to extend our tremendous gratitude to all those with family or friends in the health care industry – please pass on our sincere thank you!
As the global COVID-19 crisis keeps us contained in our homes, experts are already questioning how our relationships to the outside world and each other will be permanently changed.
As we transition into more virtually centered practices, we want to encourage CLI members to

CLI Website - A New Look!
|
|
The CLI website has a new look and we need your help to spread the word!
Don’t think it’s worth your time to share the new website? Think again. At a minimum, you have five reasons to share this new website with your professional and personal network:
- the new website is more intuitive for clients, which means you can close more sales with less effort;
- the new website explains the collaborative process in a more clear and simple way, which means you can persuade more couples to use collaborative process instead of traditional;
- the new website markets unbundled services, which is something the old website didn’t have and many people don’t know about;
- the new website advertises you(!); and
- you pay to be a member of this organization, so help the organization succeed so that you can succeed.

Is divorce looming in your relationship? Afraid of the process, of what the future might hold? Most people are. Until they learn about collaborative divorce.
LinkedIn
Ever been asked by a friend, family member or client if there is any way they could have a dignified divorce? Find yourself stumbling around trying to answer that question? Now, you don’t have to. Let the new Collaborative Law Institute website do the explaining for you. It’s so intuitive that you’ll be asking how’d you ever live without it!

Members Talking about Collaborative Practice...
In a Presentation
Louise, Brian and Deb presented at a CLE event at Pazzaluna Urban Italian Restaurant on March 9, 2020 sponsored by Our Family Wizard and Family Law Software. Racheal Horowitz from OFW and Nancy from FLS shared a wealth of info about their products, and Brian, Louise and Deb presented on aspects of conflict resolution for families experiencing divorce or separation. It was a fun event, and hopefully the evaluations concur with the sense that it was a successful event.
In an Interview
A great article about one of our new CLI Board members, Allison Maxim, talking about Collaborative as part of her practice. Here is the link to the article recently published in the Attorney at Law Magazine:
In the Media
Writing that divorce doesn’t need to be like this, Deb Clemmensen’s article published in the Minneapolis StarTribune about the movie “A Marriage Story”, gives voice to the collaborative process.

CLI Partners are ready resources to help clients with the myriad of tasks and issues they may be facing in their personal transitions. And not only are these known professionals ready with experienced help, their commitment to partnering with CLI helps defer the costs of doing CLI business, including administrative costs, covering overhead, and funding special projects. Without CLI partners the cost to each individual member would be much higher. So when you have an opportunity to chat with a CLI Partner, please take the time to thank them and consider connecting with them for business!
