Leading clients, people & work
The competitive pressures on law firm partners in Europe have never been greater. And as these pressures intensify further in the current economic climate, the temptation of many will be to focus on client-facing work rather than on the more challenging aspects of leadership and management.
How can you differentiate and grow your practice? How can you nurture and develop your associate?
This programme has been specifically designed for law firm partners who recognise that, for the firm to be more competitive and successful, you have to be equipped with the insights, skills and techniques that will help you meet the demands of today’s partner role and make you a more effective leader at both firm and practice level.
The Law Firm Partner as Leader Programme brings together leading business academics from the University of Cambridge with top consulting professionals with a wealth of experience in providing strategic, leadership and personal advice and development skills throughout Europe.
The result is a unique learning event which blends academic and practically based sessions to provide you with an in-depth understanding of the concepts of law firm management, coupled with the skills to apply those concepts in your daily working life.
