March 16, 2020 By Mickey Gayler

collaborative law conference

As anxious as we all feel, it was reaffirming as a collaborative practitioner to attend this year’s Spring Conference in Austin.  From the opening remarks about what has been accomplished in Texas over the last 20 years to John McShane’s militant cry that it’s time we directly challenge the family law litigators to the profound lyrics of Jack Emmott’s remarks about the presence of hope in our everyday lives, the conference had a lot to offer all the attendees.

What are we trying to accomplish when we announce that we are creating new marketing efforts in order to grow the use of the Collaborative Divorce Process in Texas?  In one of my previous incarnations, I was an entertainment executive responsible for programming theaters and amphitheaters with live entertainment.  I had a mentor who used very few words when he gave me advice on marketing: “Sell more tickets!!” I would sit back in my chair and think about that phrase over and over. … [Read more...]

Practice Tip: Just What Was I Thinking When I Put This Team Together?

March 12, 2018 By Mickey Gayler Leave a Comment

collaborative team

Two things immediately come to mind when I am being interviewed by a prospective collaborative client: First, how do we get the other spouse to agree to use the collaborative process ; and Second, I hope I know the other lawyer.  This is entirely because assembling a collaborative team is always so much easier when the other lawyer is something of a known quantity.  It makes the initial evaluation and communication period, that time prior to the signing of the Collaborative Agreement, so much … [Read more...]
