the philosophy that guides my work as a
lawyer is legal realism the idea that
the law should rely on empirical
evidence and that you’ve got to test
hypotheses against observations in the
real world legal realism with its focus
on the practical application of law
informs and enhances my transactional
law practice in a number of ways one it
helps me understand the practical
context of the matters that I handle the
market dynamics the client’s business
needs giving me a practical way to focus
on the clients and their objectives
helping clients to craft agreements that
align with their business goals rather
just adhering to standard legal forms
legal realism helps my law practice in
negotiation skills beyond legal texts
realism emphasizes the importance of
skills and understanding the interests
of all parties involved in a negotiation
a successful transactional lawyer will
use this insight to navigate
negotiations effectively like I do for
my clients finding creative solutions
that satisfy the parties to the matter
legal realism also gives me flexibility
and adaptability teaching me to be
flexible and adaptable in my approach in
negotiations and adjusting strategies
based on evolving circumstances and the
participation of other parties
