VIDEO: How To Deal With Aggressive, Disrespectful People, Without Looking Weak
Nobody teaches barristers and lawyers what to do when someone becomes aggressive or disrespectful.
We're taught the law.
- Evidence.
- Procedure.
- Advocacy.
- Drafting.
But very few get taught what to do when-
Someone interrupts you to prove you wrong...
Talks over you...
Raises their voice...
Blames you...
Belittles you...
Or tries to bully you into getting their own way.
So most lawyers do what they know.
They defend themselves.
Explain themselves.
Fight back.
Or stay silent.
Not because they're weak.
Because they don't know there's another option.
In this presentation, I challenge three assumptions most barristers and senior lawyers never question about aggressive behaviour.
Because the goal isn't to win the argument; it's to stop the behaviour, changing how you operate.
