A profession is not a business.
It is distinguished by the requirements of extensive formal training and learning,
admission to practice by qualifying licensure,
a code of ethics imposing standards qualitatively and extensively beyond
those that prevail or are tolerated in the marketplace,
a system for discipline of its members for violation of the code of ethics,
a duty to subordinate financial reward to social responsibility, and, notably,
an obligation on its own members, even in nonprofessional matters,
to conduct themselves as members of
a learned, disciplined, and honorable occupation.

The Collaborative difference
Lawyers Collaborative is a full service, public interest law firm staffed by a team
of seasoned general counsel and trial lawyers who advise the Collaborative's
individual, family, and business clients in all kinds of legal matters.

These are lawyers' lawyers, working as a team who have “been there, done that.”

Indeed, the three Staff General Counsel currently resident in the Providence office
have almost a century of varied legal experience. This page has more information.

Whenever Staff General Counsel believe it is in the best interest of the client to have expert advice
in a particular field, and with litigation or adversarial matters generally, Staff General Counsel will
at no additional cost work together with a specialist* from the Collaborative's Roster of carefully
screened, independent lawyers and allied professionals.


* The Rhode Island Supreme Court licenses all lawyers in the general practice of law. The court does not license
or certify any lawyer as an expert or specialist in any particular field of practice. See also, Notices
