“Yo, I’ll Tell You What I Want, What I Really, Really Want …”

Highlights

Being a lawyer in private practice takes a lot of skill and hard work.  We all studied hard, we trained hard and now we work hard.  We strive to achieve high standards of legal skill, matter strategy and team management.  And at the heart of everything we do is our clients.  Clients come to us every day with different issues and requests.  No client is identical to another – they all have slightly different outlooks, motivations, objectives and budgets.  Two things that they all have in common is that they all want a legal service that meets their needs and they all have a lot of law firms to choose from.  How do you ensure that you are (and you stay) the chosen one?   

Join us for a practical and interactive session where our panel will provide their insights on what clients want (and what they don't want) from their legal service providers.
