Presentation

#UIAStrategies4LawFirms

THE WORKSHOP - SUMMARY

Inspirational leadership and effective management are increasingly important for law firms.  Competition from other law firms and organisations offering streamlined legal services means that there is a constant pressure on price, delivery and “added value”.  Leadership and management skills are not generally taught in law school.  Day 1 considers the key requirements of leading and managing a flourishing profit-making law firm.  Day 2 considers the essential, but often time-consuming skills, required for the fruitful and constructive management of people within the firm.

Who should attend?

  • Senior partners, Managing Partners, heads of department, supervisors, practising lawyers, office managers, practice managers, and team leaders.
  • All members of the law firm who want to develop their skills in leadership, management and communication of his/her firm, department or own practice.
  • All those who advise lawyers on these skills.                                                                                                                                                     

Reasons for attending: outcomes of the training

Development of your skills, knowledge, confidence and understanding of how to:

  • Win, keep and grow the clients you want, cost-effectively
  • Lead your firm in the direction you want it to go
  • Increase effectiveness and efficiency within the firm
  • Maximise return on investment of all the resources of your firm
  • Stay ahead of all developments
  • Satisfy the increasingly high expectations of clients requiring speedy pro-activity, creativity and innovation all at a lower cost

  • To generate, introduce and implement creative ideas
  • To increase motivation
  • To revise and refresh knowledge
  • To revise, practise and update skills
  • Tips and techniques to use and traps to avoid
  • Practical, relevant, and immediately applicable time-saving tips

Interactive workshop

  • Sessions are conducted in a whole variety of ways, including: presentations, PowerPoint, delegates working individually, in pairs, in small groups, in larger groups, as a whole.
  • Interactive participation by the delegates includes: case-studies, role plays, quizzes, exercises, practicals, questionnaires, templates, checklists, problem-solving and theory-to-practise sessions.
  • Discussions allow delegates to share their experiences with others and have constructive problem-solving discussions, which lead to practical and relevant solutions and lessons learned.
  • Personal Action Plan - each individual creates a Personal Action Plan, of actions that they will carry out when they return to work.   They can then immediately apply what they have learned as soon as they get back to the office from the training.

Working language

The sessions will be held in English without simultaneous translation.
