On August 14, Mississippi family law attorney Mark Chinn, founding attorney of Chinn & Associates, PC, had the honor of presenting to the Madison County Bar on his work as Chair of the Mississippi Bar Collaborative Law Committee.
From 2021 through 2023, Mr. Chinn led the committee in drafting and promoting new Collaborative Law rules in Mississippi. These rules were endorsed by the Mississippi Bar and ultimately approved by the Mississippi Supreme Court, creating a more respectful and cooperative alternative to traditional litigation in family law matters. Collaborative Law encourages attorneys and clients to work together toward amicable solutions in areas such as divorce, custody, and property division.
Mr. Chinn’s leadership and vision were instrumental in bringing this innovative process to Mississippi families. With decades of experience in family law, Mr. Chinn has earned recognition including the Martindale-Hubbell AV Preeminent Rating, Mid-South Super Lawyers, Outstanding Lawyers of America, and the Lawyer Citizenship Award for pro bono service.
In addition to his legal practice, he is the author of several books on family law and collaborative methods and has spoken nationwide on family law practice, client service, and constructive divorce solutions.
Chinn & Associates, PC congratulates Mr. Chinn on this recent presentation and his ongoing efforts to advance family law in Mississippi.
