Think Like a Divorce Lawyer
Learn how great divorce lawyers think
First, let’s define Courtney’s ‘great divorce lawyer’. We don’t mean those in the style of Rumpole of the Bailey. Or Mr Loophole (whoever he is). We mean the incredibly hard working, highly empathic, lesser-known worker bees of family law.
Our ‘great’ divorce lawyer is recognised as a leader or future leader in their field. But crucially they are much more concerned about their clients' welfare than getting nominated for awards or being a top biller in their firm. They know that in the family law sphere, ‘profile’ is double edged and does not guarantee effectiveness. Great divorce lawyers put their clients’ interests – so almost always compromising their cases – ahead of personal ambition, financial reward or ego. A great divorce lawyer knows it's not about them.
So how do these low-key superstars think? Well, here’s a little secret. Courtney has loads of them (if we do say so ourselves), so we can share all.
Our focus here, for illustration, is on a finance case on divorce.
