In this first of our three-part series of Ten-Minute Talks on providing trauma-informed legal representation, Kelsey Murrell (Associate at CM Murray LLP) and Emma Bartlett (Partner at CM Murray LLP) explore ways that lawyers can incorporate their understanding of trauma into their practice to build trust with and better serve clients.
They address:
- What is trauma-informed legal representation?
- When should lawyers think about making adjustments for clients?
- What are some examples of ways to make obtaining legal advice easier for people who have experienced trauma?
The discussion will be of particular interest to law firms that represent individuals who may have experienced discrimination or blown the whistle. The discussion may also interest companies, professional service firms, or in-house counsel whose employees may have experienced trauma either at work or in their personal lives.
If you would like to discuss trauma-informed legal representation further or if you have any questions, please contact Associate Kelsey Murrell or Partner Emma Bartlett.
