Send us Fan MailWhat do you do when you're the younger lawyer and the more senior lawyer is completely wrong? Standing up to them can be tricky due to social pressure, seniority, and ego. However, you can successfully navigate this challenging situation and help the senior lawyer see another point of view. First, we discuss the importance of earning the respect of the senior lawyer through excellent work and demonstrating that you're prepared for conversations. By doing what other lawyers aren't willing to do, you can win credibility and the right to be heard. We also emphasize the importance of addressing disagreements privately, as talking about it with coworkers can damage relationships and shut down the senior lawyer's ability to hear your perspective. By following these steps consistently, you can increase your success rate and improve your practice.
