February 12: Soft Skills For Legal Professionals: How to Protect Your Firm's Reputation

Even the best lawyers can run into trouble—not because they don’t know the law, but because of missteps in communication, judgment, or professionalism.
A missed detail, a poorly handled client conversation, or an avoidable conflict can lead to complaints, lost trust, or reputational damage.
This CLE webinar will walk you through how to use soft skills to navigate the day-to-day challenges of modern legal practice.
Join the session to:

• Understand how communication, professionalism, and ethical awareness connect to the Rules of Professional Conduct (1.1, 1.4, 8.4).
• Review real cases showing the consequences of lapses in professionalism, bias, or client communication.
• Learn how to apply practical strategies to build credibility, collaborate effectively, resolve conflicts respectfully.
