Honesty and an apology goes a long way. I’d skip the passing of blame on the Associate as it is ultimately your fault. Just apologize
It will be fine. Be humble and honest.
This is still a relationship business. Call the client and get it off of your chest. Stress the fact that you value the relationship and that you will do a better job.
This is solid advice
Call. Apologies generally work or at least reduce the damage. Or at least contain it so it stops spreading.
The female tendency to over apologize is only a thing when you’re not at fault. But you are here.
I agree with all the earlier comments. Taking responsibility goes a long way. Do it with a personal call, not email
I’d reach out, clients appreciate lawyers who take ownership, and I wouldn’t even mention the associate’s role - hey, just wanted to say my apologies for the oversight, I certainly value our relationship and I’d like you to know that won’t happen again.
Thanks all - really appreciate the quick and frank advice.
Own it, apologize
Yes apologize.
By phone.
Pick up the phone and call. It's always a good idea to personally extend best wishes for the Holidays. Blend into your conversation the recent transaction and ask the client what she would recommend to improve your firm's service. After she expresses her concern, then apologize as appropriate and thank her for her advice. Sometimes a tough experience can lead to a better relationship on the other side. Good luck.
