Challenges in cross-border communication: lecture for the PIA
What challenges come to mind when you think about working internationally as a lawyer?
Yesterday, together with the advocates from the Pomeranian Bar, we explored quite a few!
From accents and communication styles, through time zones and date formats, to powers of attorney and KYC checks.
It’s part of a workshop series I’ve been running with the Pomeranian Bar for many years now, and I always feel grateful to work with such an engaged group.
“Language is the source of misunderstandings.”
― Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
These conversations are a great reminder that international work is not just about the law, it’s also about communication, awareness, and staying curious!
I’d love to hear your thoughts: what challenges have you come across in your international practice?
