Media training for solicitors and barristers can be one of the best investments a law firm can make. The UK’s legal sector weeklies rank among the most pugnacious trade titles. Even experienced partners at commercial law firms can be taken unawares by the fierceness with which their journalists put questions, and pursue stories on panel appointments, lateral hires, fees and profits.
But almost all commercial law firms accept interaction with the legal trade press is essential for business success. And, when lawyers are asked to comment for national newspapers, or appear on broadcast outlets, the stakes can get even higher.
Whilst the press can never be controlled, robust media training for lawyers can allow them to approach each opportunity with confidence, without making the gaffes and digressions that can be misinterpreted or twisted – and to give a good account of themselves and their firms.
Our comprehensive media training for solicitors and barristers provides a sound framework before live practice sessions with specialist journalists, in front of the camera. The experience helps our clients to stay in control of their words no matter how challenging the circumstances.
