Management Course Stage 2 - The Key Skills Needed to Supervise Others

Introduction

You are a great lawyer, but are you ready to lead people, write a business plan, or run a law firm?

As solicitors we progress in our careers because we are good at the law and with clients. This is a different skill set from running a team or law firm.

One of the challenges for solicitors is to remain a great provider of legal advice, whilst developing as a manager and supervisor.

Presented by law firm consultant and compliance expert Paul Bennett, this virtual classroom seminar will provide you with a guide to the core management skills required in the context of becoming competent to supervise, whether that is of your colleagues, a team, a department, or of a law firm.
