Rethinking Our Approach, Our Assumptions

A client has hired you to offer sound, legal advice; to represent him zealously. Naturally, as an esteemed lawyer, you rely upon your years of experience, historical judgment, and legal acumen.

The client is looking for guidance or even assurances. Your legal muscle memory kicks into action, and you approach the problem the way you have time and time again throughout your career.

But even if your approach to solving legal problems is successful, is it correct? Are you offering the proper guidance?

Ask yourself, do you take enough time to examine whether you should employ a different approach?

The reality is that lawyers and insurance professionals make bad decisions every day as a result of cognitive biases.
