Professional Certificate in Legal Practice of the Future Module 2: The Business of Law and Digitalising and Streamlining Legal Operations (Synchronous E-learning)
About This Course
The implementation of new or updated operating procedures often comes with many unforeseen challenges. Inevitably, changes in workflows and legal operations are needed as what got you here may not get you to where you want to be. Additionally organic but unstructured development of operations may often mean inefficiencies and unexpected bottlenecks. Leaders in law firms should be equipped with the tools for deliberate and intentional design of operations in order to deliver quick and effective solutions for clients, and the second half of this module seeks to equip lawyers with frameworks to analyse and effect practical solutions to improving their operations.
With the ever-changing landscape of law, largely driven by client demands, it is easy to get caught up in the day-to-day of lawyering. This module helps provide useful frameworks and metrics to evaluate the performance of one's practice as well as highlights how to optimise financial setup.
