Professional Certificate in Legal Practice of the Future Module 3: Business Development and Networking For a Young Professional (Synchronous E-learning)
About This Course
Business development and networking are cornerstones in a law firm’s revenue strategy. It would be a wrong assumption nowadays to believe that a good practitioner of law will necessarily be a successful lawyer. The first is a prerequisite to practice law as a profession, while the latter requires more than legal hard skills. A successful lawyer nowadays is basically a good practitioner of law able to generate business for the law firm. It is a lawyer who embraced the business(wo)man - the IntraLawpreneur - to incorporate the sales part of the legal business and manifest financial results for the law firm.
The aim of this module is to strengthen the highly sought after soft skills - especially since the rise of Artificial Intelligence in the legal sector - in order to enhance your existing legal hard skills.
What You'll Learn
• Understand how to enhance and integrate the more qualitative “soft” skills that lawyers require with the technical “hard” legal skills in order to manifest financial results for the law firm
• Enhance their communications with clients, colleagues, opposing counsel, etc.
Entry Requirements
Participants should have at least 3 years of experience in a legal services firm.
