Being a white collar defense lawyer requires a special type of soft skill: the ability to effectively counsel a titan of industry more accustomed to giving orders, not taking them.
But the guests on today's episode of our podcast, On The Merits, say this type of work has gotten a little harder because many white collar clients now believe the government agencies prosecuting them are acting in bad faith.
J. Nicholas Bunch and Kit Addleman, two defense attorneys with the firm Haynes Boone, discuss how the country's contentious political climate is shaping this mindset and how to overcome it to secure the best outcome for your client—in some instances, despite themselves.
