Empower yourself to safeguard your legal career. Proactively identify and address competence issues, from substance abuse to mental and physical well-being.
Mr. Nielsen addresses how substance abuse and other factors may impact an attorney's ability to render legal services with competence. He helps raise awareness of how lawyers can recognize such possible competence issues in their own practices, as well as with other attorneys they may know, and how to discuss such issues with colleagues.
Such issues may range from perceived mental health concerns, depression, cognitive decline, and substance abuse, all discussed along with prevention and treatment options.
In the high-stress world of the legal profession, with duties of competence owed to clients and relationships with colleagues, Mr. Nielsen's presentation is a valuable resource.
