Commercial Awareness for Fee Earners - The Financial Drivers Behind Law Firm Success

Introduction

Every fee earner contributes to the financial success of their firm, but many have limited visibility of the commercial drivers behind profitability, cash flow and growth. This practical webinar explains how the actions fee earners take every day - from recording time and managing matters to communicating with clients - can have a direct impact on firm performance.

Using real-world examples, this webinar will help delegates understand the relationship between time recording, recovery, working capital and business development, enabling them to contribute more effectively to the commercial success of their organisation.
