Product Description

Designed for all attorneys no matter your practice area, this program focuses on navigating issues related to difficult opposing counsel, as well as clients. At some point in their career, every attorney inevitably has to address opposing counsel who are hostile, bullying, and/or unresponsive. Additionally, there are some clients who are high maintenance, overburden inboxes, want to pursue frivolous arguments, or blame others. This program discusses how to maintain your professionalism and objectivity (and sanity!) as well as comply with your ethical obligations in these (and other) difficult situations.

Join our experts as we discuss options for handling such situations, both inside and outside the courtroom and conference room.
