Skills & Competencies
- Exceptional oral and written communication skills: Many cases are won or lost based on written submissions to the court before a lawyer ever appears in front of a judge. Strong oral skills are required for court appearances.
- Analytical skills: It’s crucial to determine if a case is winnable from the start and advise clients accordingly.
