It's been said that nice guys finish last. And while that might be true in the rough and tumble arenas of politics, professional prize fighting and marriage, nothing could be further from the truth in the practice of law. Zealous representation doesn't require us to be zealots. In fact, the most effective representation requires just the opposite. Nice lawyers finish first ... and so do their clients!
In this off-beat webinar, Sean Carter uses humor to stress the importance of not only being "nice," but embodying all the traits of true professionalism:
- Integrity – making our word our bond
- Civility – being zealous but not zealots
- Efficiency – expediting client matters
- Charity – giving of our time and talents for the benefit of others
- Conciliation – always willing to entertain compromise
- Accommodation – making reasonable allowances for others
- Humility – putting the client's interests first
Then, Sean turns his comedic spotlight on marketing, with a segment on ethical and effective legal advertising. Like all professionals, lawyers must market their services. Yet, unlike other professionals, lawyers must do so according to the most demanding ethical standards. In this off-beat ethics webinar, legal humorist Sean Carter will demonstrate the "dos" (and mostly "don'ts") of legal marketing.
Using real-life (and often, comical) examples of legal marketing, Sean will demonstrate how to stay within our ethical boundaries when it comes to: websites, blogs, social media, mail solicitations, client consultations and much more.
Don’t miss out on this funny, very ethical program!
