Topics

  • The most common mistakes start-up law practices make and strategies to avoid them
  • Presenting your unique skills and experiences to build your reputation and your brand.
  • Effective ways of getting and keeping clients.
  • Proven strategies to develop a successful and sustainable law practice.

This workshop is geared for lawyers who are starting or running newly established law practices (0-3 years) and who want to grow their practices into successful, powerful and sustainable businesses. The workshop leaders will use a variety of interactive tools to help the attendees create a powerful vision and a practical plan for their practices. Law schools don’t teach business or organizational success and certainly don’t teach the tools to be used during the workshop.

"You don't get what you deserve - you get what you negotiate." -Chester L. Karass

We negotiate all the time: with business partners, at work, with neighbors, in restaurants, in stores, with family and friends, even with yourself – we negotiate constantly whether we are aware of it, prepared or not.

In this interactive seminar you will learn how to create winning strategies and negotiate successfully.

  • How to establish instant rapport with anyone anytime anywhere?
  • What to negotiate with art galleries?
  • What does it take to get what you want?
  • How to prepare for the negotiation?
  • How to turn negotiation into a winning solution?
Whatever your mind can conceive and believe, it can achieve ~ Napoleon Hill
