This CLE explores issues that challenge lawyers in complex business disputes, providing in-depth coverage of topics that arise frequently such as privilege, insurance and the effective use of experts. It also draws attention to issues important to all lawyers, including how to effectively build trust with colleagues and clients, and mental health issues all lawyers face as professional problem solvers.
