In this video I explain how we deal with "aggressive lawyers".
How to Combat Aggressive Lawyers
A common misconception is that you need an aggressive lawyer to win your case.
This isn’t the true at all.
We would argue that you should be seeking out an assertive lawyer, not an aggressive one.
Aggressive tactics can harm your case if perceived by the judge as overly confrontational, intimidating, unprofessional and/or unethical.
In our experience, aggressive lawyers are often driven by pride and ego, and thus tend to lose sight of the big picture. Aggressive tactics often create unnecessary legal skirmishes between the parties which can consequently:
delay the progression of the case and prolong outcomes;
jeopardise potential opportunities for the parties to compromise and resolve the dispute; and
unnecessarily and wastefully increase legal costs for both parties.
Your lawyer should be fearlessly assertive in presenting your case, but not aggressive.
Successful and effective lawyers are those who are experienced, knowledgeable, pragmatic and commercially mature. They have the necessary astuteness to investigate and analyse the evidence the evidence (delete) in the dispute and raise the genuine issues for resolution.
At the end of the day, facts and evidence, together with a tactically-minded lawyer, are what win cases – especially controversial and complex ones.
