I noticed on a call earlier today that, in my efforts to show a united front on a call with opposing counsel, I said something that sounded like I was taking credit for the thoughts of a coworker. Specifically I thanked him for paraphrasing something that I was in the process of explaining (his explanation was much better and went beyond what I’d said so far). I genuinely appreciate his insights and respect them as his own. How do others handle this kind of situation?

The call is over now, so nothing to do there. If your coworker was on the call, I suggest talking to them and explaining like you did above.
If the coworker wasn’t on the call, then let it go.

It’s a team effort babe. He has no IP right to his “thoughts” on that call. I would not stress too much.

Thanks all!
