[QUOTE="Alice G, post: 54813, member: 1160"] So the client is supreme which you show an appreciation for here. I think you’d need to navigate it fairly carefully and ask the client if they would mind maybe just ten mins to state your thoughts and opinions but make clear it is ultimately their choice. You’d want to emphasise to the client that you only want what’s best for them and to ensure they have all the necessary information available but it is ultimately their choice and you’d always support them in their final decision. I think the test here is basically making really clear to the client that you have their interests in your mind but you respect their decision either way and will continue to offer your professional support. But you also want to ensure the client makes the right choice so you do want to try and state your case, even if it’s brief. It’s also important though to not patronise the client or suggest they have neglected information so word choice and the way you present this would need to be delicate. Also, it’s important to remember, commercial lawyers are commercially minded but big clients will have consultants and people whose sole job is to consider these very strategic choices so it might be an idea to ask for them to share their thoughts with you too in order to show that reciprocity :) I have never had this so this is the best advice I have off the top of my head! :) [/QUOTE]
