On November 7, from 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., during the LHS Discussion Hub titled “Lawyers’ Missteps in Court Proceedings,” you’ll have a unique opportunity to hear real-life stories and get practical advice from Denys Ponomarenko, a partner and attorney at Barristers Law Firm Denis Ponomarenko, who will gladly share his professional expertise, offer advice on how to act in the client’s best interests, and conduct a detailed analysis of all possible mistakes and missteps a defense attorney may make during criminal proceedings.

Experience is gained not from victories, but from defeats—this is what modern business strategists and personal coaches teach when motivating people toward personal growth. But this approach is not particularly suitable for a lawyer, since the client’s fate may hinge on the lawyer’s failure. To avoid learning the hard way every time, it is essential to wisely heed the advice of experienced colleagues.

TOPICS FOR DISCUSSION:
— Making a First Impression: Why You Should Prepare Your Opening Statement in Writing
— Motions You Can’t Afford to Miss
— The nuances of cross-examination: “friend or foe”
— Working with witnesses. Questions you shouldn’t try to answer
— Evidence. Proper analysis of admissibility and relevance
— Mistakes in a defense argument that can be fatal
