Training Course Content
Introduction
Law firms invest a huge amount in trainee solicitors to support their route to qualification, however a firm's obligation to train and develop its lawyers continues beyond admission to maintain competence appropriate to their practice area and level of responsibility.
Much of this takes place 'on-the-job' through the effective delegation and supervision of client work by those lawyers with greater experience. The aim is to develop well-rounded advisers with strong commercial awareness and a commitment to exceeding client expectations - the partners of the future. It has been updated to include discussion of the remote supervision environment.
This live broadcast session provides an overview of the key issues and practical skills to enable you to manage, mentor and develop junior lawyers successfully.
