3 Hours SRA CPD
Speaker: Claire Merrick
A half day workshop to enable you to learn how best to lead and manage staff through turbulent times.
The current pressures on UK law firms are huge with many firms experiencing the toughest trading conditions that they have ever faced. Some firms are seeing massive reductions in the volume of conveyancing transactions, a tougher stance from the bank, reduction in the value of company assets such as business premises and an uncertain longer term future in the face of The Legal Services Act. All this and the full impact of the credit crunch and the fuel and food price squeeze on organisations and jobs, has yet to emerge.
There will be winners and losers over the coming months. Those responsible for managing staff can add real value to the firm by understanding and facing the challenges ahead and developing HR policies and practices that contribute to the firm's bottom line.
