Civility in the Legal Profession: Why Civility Makes Good Business Sense and Could Increase Your Lifespan
As attorneys, we often move from contentious negotiation, to aggressive litigation, to hostile confrontation and we often navigate passive-aggressive or manipulative behavior from colleagues.
We will explore the impact that the stress of incivility has on individual attorneys and on the legal profession generally. Join us for a discussion on how empathy, integrity, and a sense of karma can infuse the role of an in-house counsel. Learn how a high EQ (emotional intelligence) can improve outcomes and neutralize tension. Consider how you can incorporate research on super-communicators into your daily interactions with opposing attorneys and fellow team-members. Join us for insights from General Counsel on how achieving “civility in the legal profession” is not just good ethics but good business.
