Is your lawyer meeting you where you are?

HLS founder and CEO Lenore Horton gives insight into the evolution of the legal industry and the pitfalls she thinks many firms are falling into. We need to trust that clients are smart enough to get it if we're willing to be the teachers they need. Here are just a few things lawyers can improve, and clients should look for.

➡️ Understanding and empathy: Facing a legal challenge can be stressful and overwhelming. Take the time to understand each situation and offer a listening ear. Clients should feel comfortable and confident in our ability to guide them through the process.

➡️ Adaptability: Every situation is different. Understanding client's needs and working styles is crucial to a good working relationship. Look for new ways to serve clients better, and don't be afraid to try new things.

➡️ Boundaries: Good boundaries create better relationships with our clients and prevent feelings of resentment. Make sure you communicate them effectively to set expectations for both yourself and your clients.

The key to a successful legal strategy is finding a lawyer who understands your unique requirements. That's why we offer a Right Fit Chat before we begin any work together. This allows us to make sure we will work well together and get you where you need to go.
