During the ordinance of Shelter in Place most of us are working remotely and engaging with clients in a way we are not used to. This is especially problematic for lawyers as our brains tend to go into the darkest of places when a problem arises. It’s not that we are negative thinkers, it’s just the way we are conditioned as lawyers. As soon as a problem arises the first place our mind goes is what could go wrong, then we proceed on how to solve it.
