  • Designing the Future of Your Law Firm: It's a Succession Process, Not a Succession Plan
    Product not yet rated Contains 2 Component(s), Includes Credits Includes a Live Web Event on 12/04/2024 at 2:00 PM (CST)

    Traditional succession planning gets far too reduced to the basics — for example, Attorney Z will replace Partner X in their role as Practice Leader upon their retirement. Besides being static and inflexible, it fails to take into account the needs of the next generation of lawyers and clients. When succession plans are too focused on roles, they miss the key functions of the law firm that attorneys and clients need to be successful. Ditch the outdated succession plan in the drawer and instead operate from curiosity with your colleagues to imagine the law firm of the future.

This knowledge will better prepare your law firm and workforce for any situation that could affect your firm and your business reputation.

    Nashville, Uvalde, Parkland, Las Vegas, Hawaii, Charlottesville, Minneapolis, the Midwest and Southeast: all sites of horrific traumatic events in the last several years. We see daily news reports with graphic images of people who are survivors of wildfires, flooding, hurricanes, terrorist attacks, bombings, riots/protests or adults and children dealing with the aftermath of active shooter situations. Even a global pandemic has changed our lives and turned our work environment, our law firms and the wellness of our employees upside down. But how often have we taken the time to really think about what happens to us as individuals when we experience traumatic or stressful events?

     

    Behavioral response to stressful incidents or crises and what is happening in the brain can be broken down into psychological stages that help to explain why individuals react in certain ways as they experience trauma. Given that in any firm your most important assets are your people and your clients, this webinar will help those involved in law firm management, disaster preparedness and crisis management gain a better understanding of the “human factor” in a crisis. This knowledge will better prepare your law firm and workforce for any situation that could affect your firm and your business reputation.

    ·      Discuss today's stressful workplace environment and understand how important it is for law firm managers and professionals to have a handle on the mental health of their lawyers and staff.
