Immigration clients pose particular challenges because of the stress of their situation and barriers to mutual understanding. This session will provide insights into how to recognise the potential problem client early and what to do about them, and to establish a client engagement to reduce the risk of complaints. It will also highlight what you can do to contain the damage when a client turns on you. Barrister and ADR specialist Phillip Green brings his knowledge of adviser-client dynamics to bear on this topic, and Simon Laurent provides an immigration-specific perspective from two decades in the industry.
