Is There a Difference Between Review Counsel and Settlement Counsel?

Join us as we unpack the essential roles, differences, and overlapping concepts of these legal representatives and how, with their assistance, successful conflict resolution is achievable.   We explain how attorneys in the “Settlement Counsel” role can work directly on their client’s behalf to achieve an out-of court resolution, and how attorneys in “review Counsel” role can support clients engaged mediation. Attorneys can be invaluable guides in while navigating the complex terms of divorce agreements in either role. We underscore the importance of finding a lawyer who not only respects the client’s wish for a peaceful resolution but is also well-versed in the non-adversarial approach. And if you’re about to embark on a divorce mediation process or other non-adversarial  process, you won’t want to miss our discussion on selecting an attorney who honors agreements, asks the right questions, and focuses on the journey rather than potential court battles.
