Take back control of your law firm! – Webinar

Take back control of your law firm – 1h Free Webinar – available April 2020

Earn 1 CPD unit for your Practice Management and Business Skills compulsory field*.

Learn strategies for your law firm to retake the initiative and achieve desired outcomes during and post COVID-19 environment.

From structuring and staffing, to systems and cash flow, regardless of the size and quality of a practice’s client base, ineffective operational systems and processes can erode returns for principals and depreciate your firm’s value.

Firms that regain the initiative by taking action to affect change in these processes will reap the benefits.

What the webinar will cover

Operating a small practice is rewarding in so many ways; the freedom to create something and operate it in your own way for instance. However, they certainly have their difficulties like any small business. With COVID-19 affecting everyone, it’s important to get through this period and come out the other side with a strong rebound.

Whilst we all tend to work in the business, principals of firms can limit their time and space by working on the business.

As a result, your firm can be missing out of critical returns from an effectively managed business. Now is the time to address them.

This webinar will provide practical examples of the how small practices can take realistic and incremental actions that allow them to regain control of their firm and reap the rewards of their hard work.

Participants will be provided with discussion focusing on:

1. Structuring for improved profitability;

2. Revenue streams and reliance on them;

3. Mitigating your risk (and not just professional indemnity);

4. Effective cash flow focused client engagement;

5. How clients are serviced in the post-COVID-19 environment;

6. Reviewing costs structure for ineffective returns;

7. Reporting and keeping your finger on the pulse; and

8. Maximising the cash received and the speed your firm can get it.

About Progressive Legal CPD

We’ve found in the past that webinars for lawyers (especially free ones!) don’t provide really good practical knowledge, especially in the mandatory subject areas.

Some people we spoke to expressed frustration and disappointment that most mandatory webinars were either extremely boring, not helpful, useful or practical, or they were annoyed that their time was wasted, or were essentially just a sales pitch for someone else’s product.

Our goal is to provide better CPD programs to lawyers that will provide better webinars with practical knowledge, instead of just “ticking the box” each year. We believe this type of education should provide useful tips for day-to-day activities.

We’re going to organise great content from experts, asking common questions from lawyers and interviewed by us from that legal perspective.

The annual requirement is ten (10) units each year from 1 April to 31 March.
