Law firm partners are understandably concerned as to what the future will bring as they come to grips with dealing with the fall out of the Covid-19 crisis. Now is the time to focus beyond the here and now to take steps to position the firm for the new world.
In this exclusive webinar specifically created for law firm partners, Paul Smith, former chairman of Eversheds Sutherland, and Firm Sense founder Sally Dyson, will look at the steps to ensure a law firm is fit for the future. The webinar will be chaired by Patrick Dransfield, director of the In-House Community.
Session outline:
- Introduction
- How healthy were law firms before the crisis?
- Who is feeling the pain?
- Crisis Management
- Finding revenue sources
- Catalyst for accelerated change
- Hallmarks of Winners
- Q&A and Concluding Remarks
This webinar is based on the themes in Paul’s Black Swan Alert article published on www.inhousecommunity.com, expanded and updated.
”The Black Swan Alert” is an excellent and thoughtful article offering law firm senior partners tips to survive the Coronavirus Black Swan event. This multi-faceted prescription is summed up by the assertion that ‘Clients will increasingly become customers and will buy their services in a way that they buy other services in their lives” Mark Cohen, Legal Mosaic / Forbes
“Law Firm Crisis Management High Light: “As the global pandemic continues to affect industries, Paul Smith, former Chairman of Eversheds-Sutherland, provides steps that can be taken now to make law firms better prepared for the future.” Richard Levick, Chairman & CEO of LEVICK
“I read the Black Swan Alert article with great interest. Your comments – and your emphasis on empathy and ‘people first’ – really resonated with me.” Julian Lambert, CXINLAW
The webinar will be interactive, with the speakers taking questions and comments throughout.
