This workshop will take managers beyond law firm management 101 and provide a framework for driving a high performance law firm.

Law firms are different to other businesses.  They depend on expensive, highly mobile human assets, efficiently producing intangible services for success.  On top of this sits the added complexity of the professional firm partnership, whether incorporated or traditional cultural complexities abound.

Know the specific strategies relevant for non-lawyer managers. This one day workshop will explore these specific issues and provide participants with an approach that will enable them to thrive in a professional service firm environment.
