Legal Mentors assist lawyers to take advantage of the increasingly competitive market for Legal Services. Whether it is because of impending de-regulation or just a desire to go for growth, legal firms are moving rapidly towards a more commercial approach to managing their practice. Legal firms rely on the team at Legal Mentors to guide them through the process of creating a new vision for their practice; linking goals and activities to that vision, to gain the buy-in of all staff and finally, to ensure that the intended progress is made.
Client Care workshop - available as public session or in-house
In the increasingly competitive world of the Law, client care has become a major differentiator. Surveys continue to show that clients are most disappointed with their Lawyer's responsiveness and accessibility. Good client care and service will differentiate your practice and lead to increased client retention.
Our Client Care Workshop helps you and your staff to identify what you can do, often at little or no additional cost, to improve client care.
The activity takes the form of a Workshop; an interactive, guided discussion, to draw all staff into the issues, seek their ideas and help them to feel committed to the goals. Each section ends with some ‘homework’ and agreed actions to be taken to gain an immediate, tangible improvement in client care. Changes in behaviour are only worthwhile if you can measure and monitor improved client care levels so this issue is included.
Topics include:
- Why is client care increasingly important?
- What is excellent client care?
- All Client ‘contact points’
- Personality profiles – deal with styles of clients and colleagues
- Client communications
- Lifetime values of clients
- Getting the fees paid
- Concluding the matter and gaining feedback
- Gaining referrals and testimonials
- Measuring client care levels
- Agreed actions
