Improv for Lawyers draws on Second City's more than ten years experience working with law firms and bar associations to train lawyers to meet key challenges confronting them daily.

"Our Improv for Lawyers Workshop is excellent for building skills in those critical areas," Marshall added. The Law Society of Upper Canada recently accreditd Improv for Lawyers for Continuing Professional Development credits in both Professionalism and Substantive Content. Second City Communications improvisation experts focus on the following learning objectives and topics: using the improv concept of "Yes, And" as a communication tool; enhanced negotiation skills and the ability to "think on your feet"; focused listening to receive messages more effectively; the importance of correct word choices; listening with authenticity; managing change more effectively; and recognizing ways to support communication from others.
