Strengthen your legal skills and buttress your ability to deal with adversity when inevitable mistakes do happen.
In the chaos of modern-day litigation and legal representation, mistakes can and will happen. The likelihood of legal mistakes can be lessened by tried-and-true practices, including clear definition of problems and solutions, the development of defined plans of process and resolution, and documenting the journey in writing along the way. When mistakes occur despite the use of best practices, repairing or mitigating those mistakes will involve recognition, prompt corrective action, full disclosure and referral analysis. Use the tools presented in this seminar to strengthen your legal skills and to buttress your ability to deal with adversity when inevitable mistakes do happen.
