The Zeytoonian Center for Dispute Resolution, LLC of Wellesley Hills and Westborough, Mass. is pleased to announce that Michael Zeytoonian, founder and director of the Center, will participate in multiple events during the International Academy of Collaborative Professionals' (IACP) 10th Anniversary Networking and Educational Forum, to be held October 22-25 at the Minneapolis Marriott City Center in Minneapolis, Minn. The Forum is the most comprehensive conference in the field of Collaborative Law.
On Friday, October 23, from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., Zeytoonian will participate in a Civil Pre-Forum Institute, "Civil Collaborative Practice-Driving Toward the Tipping Point". The Institute will look at what is driving the use of Collaborative Practice in civil cases, the keys to its success, the opportunities for broader use and the challenges that are being overcome by civil Collaborative Practitioners.
The session will open with a presentation by Kathy Bryan, Executive Director of the International Institute for Conflict Resolution and Prevention in New York. She will be joined in a panel discussion by Michael Zeytoonian, as well as Dallas, Texas-based Collaborative consultant, coach and mental health professional Vicki James. Patricia Mallon, Past President of the Association of Collaborative Professionals of Ireland will moderate the panel. The Institute's afternoon session will offer intensive, interactive training, working to resolve a hypothetical case using the Collaborative Process.
On Saturday, October 24, from 9:00 a. m. to 10:30 a. m., Zeytoonian will co-present a Forum Workshop with lawyer and mediator R. Paul Faxon, Of Counsel to the Archstone Law Group in Cambridge, Mass. and The New Law Center, LLC in Waltham, Mass., and economist Fred Baird, a Principal at Wellesley, Mass.-based Aurora Financial Advisors and an affiliated Expert/Consultant with the Zeytoonian Center.
The workshop, "Two Rivers Converge in Collaborative Practice," is designed for civil Collaborative Practitioners. Using interactive exercises, it will examine how, in Collaborative Practice, the skill sets of the litigator, the transactional attorney and the independent neutral expert are transformed in a way that best serves the Collaborative process.
From 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. on Saturday, October 24, Zeytoonian will facilitate a Civil Roundtable with Chelmsford, Mass.-based mediator and collaborative family lawyer Lynda Robbins. The Roundtable will combine reports and updates on the "state of the movement," and will feature a special presentation by Kathy Bryan, Executive Director of the International Institute of Conflict Prevention and Resolution.
