Description

This program will cover the skills necessary for making a great first impression when receiving a new file. The lecture portion of the program will focus on the practical skills of communicating with clients when your knowledge of the case is limited. This CLE is designed to teach participants how to strategize when considering a new case and set out a framework of the general legal information you should be prepared to provide in an initial call with a client or claims professional.

This will include providing attendees with valuable insights on:

  • What are the questions you should be prepared to answer?
    • General questions about the law in your jurisdiction.
    • Questions about Plaintiff’s counsel/Plaintiff’s firm.
    • Questions about the judge assigned to the case.
  • What questions should you ask?
  • What is important to know about out how the client/carrier views the case?
  • What are the ethical considerations to be mindful of in initial communications with a client?

After the brief lecture, attendees will have the opportunity to discuss these skills in small groups led by claims professionals or representatives of corporate clients.

Attendance is limited to 30 participants
