Trust Begins with Communication: Lessons from the Private Client Conference

A recent Law Gazette feature on the Private Client Conference has spotlighted a critical issue within the profession: communication. Despite our technical expertise, it’s often a lack of clarity, transparency, or timely updates that drives client dissatisfaction particularly in sensitive matters such as probate, mental capacity, and estate administration.
As private client practitioners, we are not only legal advisers, we are also guides through emotionally complex, often unfamiliar territory. Whether it’s managing expectations around costs, explaining procedural steps, or offering reassurance, our role increasingly requires a balance of legal rigour and emotional intelligence.
This article reinforces an essential truth: effective communication is not a soft skill, it’s a professional obligation. And it is fundamental to building client trust, reducing complaints, and delivering the kind of service that defines truly modern private client practice.
