#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

- Maximise return on investment of all the resources of your firm

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.
