Book excerpt: Running a successful law practice means wearing two hats. Your clients are counting on you to be an expert in your area of law. At the same time, you have all the demands of running a small business - something many of us didn't fully anticipate when we graduated from law school. Our legal education gave us the foundation we needed to become excellent legal practitioners, but few of us have the training necessary to build a successful business. The result is that we work as hard as we can to do excellent legal work, and we wonder why that doesn't result in a growing, thriving legal enterprise. So, we spend more time at the office being the best lawyers we can be, until our family and personal lives suffer and we start to lose our passion for the law. The truth is, you can create a legal business that is not only growing but is highly profitable, and you can do it while taking time to enjoy life outside the office. The American Academy of Estate Planning Attorneys figured out how to do it more than two decades ago. Since then, we've helped hundreds of attorneys nationwide to transform their practices and their lives. Our secret is simple. Systems. Believe it or not, most law firms have very few intentional systems. They have no unique way of operating, no overall firm brand. Without systems, it is difficult for them to be consistent in the services they provide. Academy law firms are different. We have developed 11 Systems to support deep, lasting client relationships - many of them spanning multiple generations. Our Members have used these systems to transform their law firms into practices they love.

Download or read book The Attorney s Networking Handbook written by Steve Fretzin and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-10-18 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I asked my father, a retired attorney, what he did back in the day to develop new business for his law practice. He looked at me with confusion and said, "Nothing. I was a very good attorney. My phone rang and there was the business." How many attorneys can still say that? The reality is that developing a book of business has never been more challenging and more important than in today's competitively charged environment. To put a finer point on this, ask a group of legal recruiters about changing law firms and they will ask you the same initial question, "What size is your book?" Unfortunately, your ability to develop business is now more important than what law school you graduated or even your level of experience as a lawyer. As you may have heard, networking is one of the best ways to grow a legal practice. Most attorneys know this, but either haven't tried yet or have already experienced the time sucking void that networking can become. Time is money. Being efficient and process-oriented with how you network is half the battle. The Attorney's Networking Handbook was specifically written to help lawyers take the guesswork out of networking. The book includes proven methodologies, engaging stories and critical take-aways that will allow you to get actual results from your time invested.
