The modern lawyer is expected to be technically excellent, emotionally intelligent, adaptable and commercially aware - often all at once. But legal workplaces are not one-size-fits-all, and neither are the people who work in them. To thrive in today s legal profession, lawyers must master the human skills that underpin trust, influence and effective leadership. Fundamental Skills for Modern Lawyers is a practical, insight-driven guide to the capabilities that increasingly define successful legal careers. From handling difficult conversations and giving feedback, to building resilience, negotiating effectively and developing a strong professional profile, this title equips lawyers with the tools they need to perform in an increasingly complex world. The book covers topics as diverse as emotional intelligence, decision-making and delegation, to networking and change management through a distinctly legal lens, as well as looking ahead to the evolving role of the lawyer, and how neurodiversity and technological developments can all play to the lawyer s human strengths. Written for lawyers at every stage of their career, this new co-publication with CILEX bridges the gap between legal expertise and human insight helping practitioners become not just good lawyers, but trusted advisers and effective leaders.
