Overview

In the fast-paced world of legal practice, effective communication is not only a professional skill but also a professional obligation. This course provides practical guidance for lawyers to mitigate risk and communicate effectively using a range of methods and tools.

The pace of legal practice today is faster than ever before. New technologies enable rapid communication but they also introduce new challenges and risks for practitioners to navigate.

This course will equip you to effectively use a range of modern communication tools while upholding your professional obligations of confidentiality, record keeping and competence. You will learn practical strategies for identifying when to use (or not use) certain tools by assessing potential risks, benefits to you and your clients, and impact on your professional duties.
