| business consultant for law firms: Effective Knowledge Management for Law Firms Matthew Parsons, 2004-07-01 While there is significant interest in knowledge management as it applies to legal environments, there are very few books specifically focused on this topic. In Effective Knowledge Management For Law Firms, Matthew Parsons expertly fills this gap by drawing on his work with a leading commercial law firm, Mallesons Stephen Jaques. He examines how law firms can implement a knowledge strategy to support their business strategy, rather than getting beguiled by fads and technology. Parsons first outlines the terrain, including what knowledge management means, the business and economics of law firms, and how lawyers work as knowledge workers. He then introduces a methodology for creating and implementing law firm knowledge strategy, which combines for the first time the interrelated aspects of recruiting, training, research, document production, information management, and digital knowledge strategy. Parsons goes beyond theories to provide detailed, practical help for the analysis, implementation, and measurement of performance-increasing initiatives. This book will be an invaluable resource for all those involved with the management and leadership of law firms and knowledge management initiatives. |
| business consultant for law firms: The Client-Centered Law Firm Jack Newton, 2020-01-28 The legal industry has long been risk averse, but when it comes to adapting to the experience-driven world created by companies like Netflix, Uber, and Airbnb, adherence to the old status quo could be the death knell for today's law firms. In The Client-Centered Law Firm, Clio cofounder Jack Newton offers a clear-eyed and timely look at how providing a client-centered experience and running an efficient, profitable law firm aren't opposing ideas. With this approach, they drive each other. Covering the what, why, and how of running a client-centered practice, with examples from law firms leading this revolution as well as practical strategies for implementation, The Client-Centered Law Firm is a rallying call to unlock the enormous latent demand in the legal market by providing client-centered experiences, improving internal processes, and raising the bottom line. |
| business consultant for law firms: Managing The Professional Service Firm David H. Maister, 2012-12-11 Professional service firms differ from other business enterprises in two distinct ways: first they provide highly customised services thus cannot apply many of the management principles developed for product-based industries. Second, professional services are highly personalised, involving the skills of individuals. Such firms must therefore compete not only for clients but also for talented professionals. Drawing on more than ten years of research and consulting to these unique and creative companies, David Maister explores issues ranging from marketing and business development to multinational strategies, human resources policies to profit improvement, strategic planning to effective leadership. While these issues can be complex, Maister simplifies them by recognising that 'every professional service firm in the world, regardless of size, specific profession, or country of operation, has the same mission statement: outstanding service to clients, satisfying careers for its people and financial success for its owners.' |

| business consultant for law firms: The New Professional Service Firm L. Martin van der Mandele, Henk W. Volberda, Rob B. Wagenaar, 2022-10-27 The authors of this book alert that professional services like law, accountancy, and consultancy firms are set to face major disruption. The most important driver and enabler are the new technologies that help and in part substitute the work done by professionals. The second important disruptor is the new generation of professionals – “NewGen” – who are less interested in building their careers in a hierarchical organization and more interested in entrepreneurial challenges in small teams, with more rapid returns. In the meanwhile, major service conglomerates – the “big four” accounting firms, the “big three” consulting firms to name a few examples – build their network using their brand and substantial resources. All along, the relentless pressure from clients to receive more services at lower cost continues. Medium-sized professional firms as well as one-person independents appear to suffer most from these disruptions and are most anxious to find new ways to conduct their business. But the leaders of large firms also feel that they are increasingly unable to support the innovative entrepreneurship of their most promising professionals while their organizations institutionalize and their overheads continue to grow. This book proposes a new orientation and model of a professional service firm as an answer to these challenges, by creating a Professional Service Community. It is a synergistic team of organizations that share a vision of their role in society and main lines of their mission as well as the quality of their deliverables and their key clients. At the same time, they are independent in designing their internal business models – like recruitment, training, knowledge management, and economics. The Professional Service Community provides a unique and highly attractive level of entrepreneurship, flexibility, and efficiency to the benefit of its clients, partners, staff, and other stakeholders. It is the way of the future. |

| business consultant for law firms: How to Start a Legal Nurse Consulting Business Patricia W. Iyer, 2016-02-03 Do you want to grow your legal nurse consulting business? Develop a group of raving fans who will recommend you to their attorney colleagues? How do you build a strong legal nurse consulting business that will pay your bills and give you security? One of the essential components of creating a strong business is establishing a loyal customer base. This book is directed to legal nurse consultants to help them do just that. The principles here will help you to establish and maintain successful relationships with attorneys to build a solid business. There is an abundance of opportunity for legal nurse consultants. I will show how you to tap into it. Running a business is a challenge for most legal nurse consultants. Self-doubt and lack of confidence holds LNCs back from taking the risks associated with starting a business. The new business owner wonders: what if I fail? Conquering your mindset is a necessary step in getting a business started. Developing a polished professional appearance is also essential. Understanding the fears of attorneys will help you determine the needs of the ideal client. Discover how motivation affects your ability to reach ideal clients. Some legal nurse consultants may have to contact many potential customers to land a case. In this book you'll learn about cold calls, warm calls and hot leads. Use your networks to get referrals to attorneys, using a structured script that works. I will teach you exactly where to find attorneys and how to ask for referrals to your ideal client. But the book goes beyond outbound marketing -reaching out to attorneys- and also focuses on inbound marketing - attracting attorneys so they find you. It is natural for an attorney to check out your website before speaking to you about your services. What will the attorney find? Do you have a site? Is it professional in appearance and well optimized for search engine optimization? Are you blogging about topics of interest to an attorney? Are you building a list of prospects by offering them an enticing special report on your website? I will show you how you can develop these tools to build a list of attorneys to stay connected with. In this book I share specific strategies to overcome the overwhelmed feeling and how to learn when to say yes or no to opportunities or specific client requests. You'll recognize three roles people play to manipulate people, particularly inexperienced legal nurse consultants. And you'll discover how to remove yourself from the game. Goals strengthen any business development plan. Specific goal setting techniques will give you a sense of progress and a reason to celebrate. I will show you how to set SMART goals to which you can hold yourself accountable and track your results. Get concrete information about having a sound operating plan and mastery over your finances. This book shares tips on how to organize your finances, track income and expenses using calendars, budges, logs and accounting software. Well-established and respected legal nurse consultants may find they have more work than they can handle. Would you like to be in that situation? This book is geared to the legal nurse consultant who is searching for tips to jumpstart a consulting business. My nursing education taught me how to take care of patients but not how to run a successful business. In this book, I will share with you many lessons learned from running a successful LNC business for 25 years. The principles and tips in this book will help you gain success in your legal nurse consulting practice.
