Podcast: Otter way. About the law. Differently – Episode 14: I’m a lawyer, not a miracle worker

23 July 2025

In the latest, 14th episode of our litigation podcast, Dr. Łukasz Wydra, Partner at Jabłoński Koźmiński & Partners Law Firm and Leader of the Arbitration Practice, shares his insights on the realities of a litigator’s work and the art of managing client expectations.

Featured in the episode:

  • About how a fair assessment of the case wins over false optimism.
  • “Cut your coat according to your cloth” – why this aphorism should be required reading for every attorney.
  • Some remarks about cases that are “predetermined to be lost” and “predetermined to be won” – and why they do not exist.
  • Thoughts on the power of preparation, which means seeking an advantage where others do not look.
  • Insights about the dangers of routine and moments when it’s worth… hanging up the gown.

A must-see episode for those who believe that procedural law is not just about rules, but also about strategy, ethics, and humility in the face of the unpredictable courtroom.  

We encourage you to listen!
