How to resolve professional conflicts between economists and lawyers on regulatory teams

Our regulatory review team has three economists and two lawyers and we cannot agree on how to weigh economic impact versus legal compliance in our recommendations and it's become personal. The economists think the lawyers are being rigid about statutory interpretation and the lawyers think the economists are willing to ignore clear legal requirements and every meeting is tense.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen
