Google, look up cases with similar issues, or just pretend you’re in a movie and make something crazy up 😅
Google mind mapping... it’s a creative writing tool mostly I think but it has helped me organize my thoughts on legal issues/projects with lots of moving parts that are connected in more of a web-shape than linear.
For example:
Talk to other associates who have similar clients/matters and run it by them. Even if they haven’t seen the exact same problem, the conversation might help trigger some ideas.

This is my most favorite thing! I love thinking through novel legal issues and finding creative solutions. In these cases, it’s often about risk more than a right or wrong answer. Think in terms of risk and the issues as opposed to finding a non-existent golden nugget of an answer.

I roll my eyes at “think creatively.” Absolutely do try to find good solutions for clients, but in my personal experience “think creatively” means “the client is totally fucked here but I am hesitant to tell them that immediately so I am sending you down a time-wasting research wormhole.”
If you find an actual creative solution - kudos! But don’t be disappointed if you don’t, and most importantly remember to turn your focus to best possible damage control options so you don’t come back totally empty handed.
