Overview
Client interviewing is one of the most vital aspects of a lawyer’s work, but also one of the most challenging. Gain practical tools to successfully navigate client interviews with confidence and empathy, ensuring better outcomes for your clients.

When clients are under emotional stress, it can be challenging for lawyers to gather all the information they need. This is especially problematic for lawyers working with clients who have experienced trauma or the breakdown of relationships.
This course will equip you with practical strategies to enhance your interactions with clients, gather essential information more effectively, and create a supportive environment that encourages open communication. Presented by Clarissa Rayward, it is particularly relevant to family lawyers, but will also be helpful to any lawyers working with clients experiencing significant emotional stress including criminal, employment and wills and estates lawyers.
