FIND OUT MOREPartner Graham Huntley comments in Legal Week on "what it takes to be a great modern litigator." Graham's comments were published in Legal Week on 18 January 2018, which can be found here.
The stereotypical litigator is quick-thinking, combative and confrontational, but are those characteristics really what clients and in-house counsel look for in a trusted adviser?
Legal Week asked leading litigators and in-house lawyers what attributes they think a great, modern litigator needs, and also what disputes lawyers should avoid doing to stop clients picking up the phone to find somebody new to instruct.
"Can you manage your aggression?
You need to push your client’s case – but how much pushing is too much? Every great litigator needs passion, but managing that is key to being able to best represent your client’s interest. A Few Good Men aside, shouting in a courtroom doesn’t get you far.
Signature Litigation founding partner Graham Huntley: “In the modern, competitive and pressured market it appears to be harder for some litigators to manage the balance between pressing the case and recognising that the system expects ethical behaviour. The system is adversarial, so it is critical that litigators are able to press their client’s case as hard as might be required without infringing on the ethical principles that make the system work.”"
