MCLC welcomes new and renewing members and associates. Associates are friends of the Collaborative community who may not meet all of the membership standards but still support Collaborative Law (this can include students, retired professionals, referral and networking resources, etc.) Associates receive all the same benefits as members, except for voting rights and a public directory listing.

If you are interested in becoming a member, please review MCLC’s Membership Standards for Collaborative Practitioners, as well as the MCLC Guidelines for Best Practices, to determine if you meet our member requirements.
