On 11 March 2020 , the World Health Organisation declared the novel coronavirus to be a worldwide health pandemic . The impacts of COVID -19 have turned the world upside down and the way we do business , live life and interact with each other .
It is no different in the world of law . The world of law has become Zoom conferences , and Microsoft teams has become the norm for Court appearances together with an increased reliance on emails and text messaging .
Today in the world of law , we now talk about AI or “ Artificial Intelligence ” but what happened to EI , the emotional intelligence of dealing with people facing difficult and complex legal challenges .
For some people going to a lawyer for the first time can be difficult and daunting , depending on the type of legal issue involved .
As one of my clients told me , “ It is like being in the doctors waiting room and thinking – “ What is wrong with me ”? “ What will the doctor say ”? “ Will the doctor be able to help me ”?
Your first interview is critical to getting to know your lawyer , their team and how they operate . Do they operate with a support team onsite or are they supported by remote legal assistants ? How long have they been practicing in law , what areas of law do they practice in and do they have the right experience and expertise to find the best and most
|
cost-effective solution for me ?
It is also a good idea to come to the lawyers ’ table with a clear and concise summary of your situation , copies of important documents and other information that relate to your case , together with a list of your questions .
This will then help a good lawyer to give you an overview of how to get started on helping you to resolving your
|
legal problem in the most cost-effective way .
A good lawyer will also tell you if your legal issue falls outside of their area of legal expertise but will also guide you to finding another good lawyer to help you with your legal problem .
Finally good lawyers need sufficient space and time to carefully consider and analyse your case . After all you as a
|
client and your legal advisor will want the best outcome in the most cost-effective manner possible .
