Client Interviewing & Counseling : Skills for Lawyers

 

What distinguishes a great lawyer from a good one is their ability to extract the right information from the client, put across their ideas in a clear, concise and confident manner combined with ability to listen effectively. The journey of developing a strong attorney-client relationship is one that takes years of practice to master. While dealing with a client, you may come across multiple challenges like difficulty in establishing trust, not getting the right questions for extracting the relevant information the client is withholding. With such a scenario, it will be difficult for you to advise your client objectively.

It takes the learner through all stages of client communication and elucidates the methodologies and techniques that can be used to facilitate the process.
