## Resource

In litigation, negotiations, and client interactions, conflict often escalates in ways that undermine professionalism and impair judgment, increasing legal risk. This program provides attorneys with a practical framework for recognizing how conflict develops, from early signals of misalignment to moments of escalation, and what to do in real time to maintain control and effectiveness. Through realistic scenarios, participants will learn how to identify early warning signs of escalation, manage communication during high-pressure interactions, and apply strategies to maintain civility with clients, opposing counsel, and other stakeholders. Attendees will leave with practical tools they can immediately use to navigate conflict and improve outcomes in high-stakes legal matters.
