Description
This session was delivered into the Employment Law Conference 2023. It is inevitable that we cross paths with a practitioner who may not like us or decides to take a particularly aggressive stance on behalf of their client. This may spill over into correspondence. At what point have we crossed an ethical line and what is the standard that should be maintained instead? This looks at the main issues, including:
- The reasons why an appropriate tone is important
- Understanding professional obligation of practitioners in communication – an overview
- Key ethical guidelines for practitioners in writing correspondence to the other side
- How to gauge whether communications have appropriate tone?
- Is there a correct tone for different scenarios or a neutral tone irrespective of circumstance?
- Does a negative message require adjustments on tone?
- Case study – is the adage ‘don’t write anything unless prepared to have it in affidavit’ still current?
- Case studies of where people have communicated inappropriately
- Next steps – what happens if someone crosses the line?
