THRIVING! Not Just Surviving: Leading Your Law Firm to Excellence

by Sandra J. Boyer Boyer (Editor), Michael S. Beaver Michael S. (Editor)

Overview

Successful law firms are focused on client service. Beyond that, however, to remain relevant and successful long term, it is imperative that they also institute effective management strategies, processes and initiatives to govern the business operations of the firm. Focusing on small to mid-size law firms, Thriving! Not Just Surviving includes practical information regarding financial management, lawyer training, client development, technology, cybersecurity, risk management and other firm management topics. The information shared includes strategies to help determine how to identify firm culture, why it is important and how processes can work within certain cultures. Managing for success begins with understanding the firm, organizing a plan, delegating authority and accountability, implementing strategies, evaluating consistently, looking forward, being pro-active and being collaborative and committed. This book is designed to provide that framework for a small to mid-size law firm.
