Civility in the Legal Profession: Why Civility Makes Good Business Sense

11:30 AM - 12:00 PM Check-In & Lunch | 12:00 - 1:00 PM CLE Presentation

As attorneys, we move from contentious negotiation, to aggressiive 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.  We will discuss how empathy, integrity, and consensus-building can inform the role of an in-house counsel.  Learn how a high EQ (emotional intelligence) can improve outcomes and consider how you can incorporate the best practices of 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.
