IMPROV FOR LAWYERS

Specialized training to develop skills and support continued growth for attorneys

Attorneys and improvisers actually have a lot in common.

We require similar abilities and strengths. Attorneys must continually think on their feet. Every lawyer needs to develop effective communication skills, and the ability to handle the unexpected, which inevitably happens with every client and in every case.

Learning some of the key principles of improvisation in these hands-on workshops can help develop and refine these critical competences for every advocate.


iMERGENCE’S Specialty Team Workshops are no ordinary improv classes.


These interactive, hands-on courses provide lawyers valuable tools to effectively be in the moment, listen without an agenda, and pivot easily when things “go off-script”.

Learning the principles of improv in legal practice, attorneys will feel more confident and better equipped to:

  • Build trust with clients

  • Negotiate with opposing counsel

  • Deal with unexpected information during a mediation or trial

  • Take and defend depositions

  • Argue in court

  • Discuss ideas with supervisors and colleagues

  • Lead meetings
