Experts and Consultants. When appropriate and needed, the Parties will use neutral experts. The Parties will agree in advance of retaining the Expert as to how the costs of the third party expert will be paid. Unless the parties agree otherwise, the expert report shall be covered by the confidentiality clause.
Experts and Consultants. When an expert is needed, the Parties will use only neutral experts. This includes, but is not limited to, business valuators, appraisers, and any other experts (the “Expert”). The Parties will agree in advance of retaining the Expert as to how the costs of the Expert will be paid. The Expert report shall be covered by the confidentiality clause of the Participation Agreement and shall not be used in any subsequent litigation (unless the parties agree otherwise, which agreement needs to be in writing). This includes all Expert reports that were commenced during the Collaborative Process, including those reports commenced during the Collaborative Process and completed after the Collaborative Process ends. Neither party will bring on an application to compel production of any Expert report commenced in the Collaborative Process.
Experts and Consultants. When appropriate and as needed, the Parties will use neutral experts (the “Collaborative Neutral Expert”). The Parties will agree in advance of retaining the Collaborative Neutral Expert as to how the costs of that expert are to be paid. Unless the Parties otherwise agree in writing, any report prepared by the Collaborative Neutral Expert will be covered by the confidentiality provisions set out in paragraph 4 of this agreement. In the event that the collaborative law process comes to an end, the confidentiality provisions as set out in paragraph 15 of this agreement apply to the Collaborative Neutral Expert.
Experts and Consultants. In selecting consultants pursuant to this Agreement, the Parties will consider retaining joint experts and consultants. In the event that either Party chooses to retain a separate expert, the experts shall nevertheless be directed to adhere to the letter and spirit of this Agreement.
Experts and Consultants. To aid in the resolution of your technical issues, it may become necessary to hire expert consultants. PDNC will not hire such people unless you agree to pay their fees and charges. PDNC will select any expert consultants to be hired.
Experts and Consultants. If outside help is desirable, the parties are encouraged to retain joint experts or consultants for the express purpose of minimizing expenses. We agree that selection of a joint expert or consultant will not obligate the parties to accept the report or opinion of that expert. Each party may retain separate or additional experts desired in developing information relevant to reaching an agreement. We agree to direct any retained experts or consultants to follow the spirit and direction of the principles in this Agreement. If desirable, the parties may request that the experts and consultants collaborate with one another, meet and confer, and where appropriate, render joint statements or opinions on the issues in dispute. We agree that any expert or consultant retained separately or jointly by us in the collaborative process may not be later retained separately by either party and may not participate in any subsequent litigation between the parties, unless we agree otherwise in writing.
Experts and Consultants. We will retain any appropriate expert or consultant jointly, unless we agree otherwise, to be confirmed either in the confidential minutes of a meeting, or in a confirming email between the parties. We will ensure payment for the services of joint professionals and share their work product. See also sections II, XI, and XII regarding experts and consultants. If we jointly engage other collaborative professionals to work with us in a team format, such as financial planners, mental health professionals, or child specialists, the persons we engage will not work for either party outside the Collaborative Process. This means they will not act as therapist for any family member or have a business relationship with any party. If other collaborative professionals are engaged, there shall be an individual participation agreement for each, clearly spelling out the professional’s role, signed by parties and all team members.
Experts and Consultants. Experts and consultants, other than staff members, shall enjoy, in the exercise of their functions in connection with the Organization or in carrying out missions for the Organization, the following privileges and immunities to the extent that they are necessary for the carrying out of their functions, including during journeys made to carry out their functions and in the course of such missions:
a) immunity from jurisdiction, even after they have left the service of the Organization, in respect of acts, including words written or spoken, done by them in the exercise of their functions and strictly within the limits of their duties. This immunity shall not, however, apply in the case of a motor traffic offence committed by such persons nor in the case of an action for damages resulting from an accident caused by a vehicle belonging to or driven by them;
b) inviolability for all documents relating to the official activities of the Organization and held by them;
c) exemption, unless for reasons of public policy this is not possible, from all measures restricting entry to France, from charges for visas and from registration formalities for the purpose of immigration control;

Experts and Consultants. If experts are needed to assist in the negotiation of disputed issues (such as the value of an asset, tax questions, or parenting issues), the parties will retain them jointly, ensure their payment, and share their work product. We agree to direct all attorneys, accountants, therapists, appraisers, as well as experts and other consultants retained by us, to work in a cooperative effort to resolve issues, without resort to litigation.
Experts and Consultants. If experts are needed, the parties will consider retaining them jointly, ensure their payment, and share their work product.
