About the Course
Introduction
This CLE webinar is about a topic that smart attorneys resoundingly agree is hugely essential but which all agree they were never taught in law school or for years afterward. That topic is how to survive in the law business--not the law practice--the law business.
Description
This one-hour fun, illuminating, and interactive program will discusses and dissects the thorny topics many new (and not-so-new) lawyers have neither considered nor knew to consider, such as how to become immediately valuable to your firm before you have (or can even have) a book of business; the importance of having a book of business and how to get one; the relative value between grinding, finding, funding, and politicking; how to observe, unpack, and navigate law firm politics; the importance of work-life balance; the importance of side hustles to enhance your main hustle; the importance of bedside manner; and more.
Listen as a seasoned plaintiff and defense lawyer show what all lawyers, but especially new ones, need to know if they want to thrive at the job they worked so hard to get.
