Law firms are… different. People who have worked in the legal industry always agree that a law firm environment is unlike anything they’ve experienced anywhere else. But when you ask them to explain the differences, they often say, “It’s hard to describe.”
And yet, it is so very important to understand the law firm environment – whether you are a new hire into a firm, a law firm client, a law firm vendor, or anyone else on the periphery of the legal industry.
We’ve got you covered!
Savvy Training & Consulting is hosting a one-hour webinar featuring popular trainer Kelly Knowles. (See more info on Kelly below.)
