How do you organise your limited time efficiently? How do you maximise your fee income?

This guide is made up of step-by-step checklists to help you deal with daily management issues like these at any stage of your career. It is an essential tool for the busy lawyer and an accessible guide to management tasks, large or small.

Based on the Government-sponsored National Management Standards, the checklists are clear and concise yet authoritative. Closely linked to The Law Society's Practice Management Standards, they are relevant to all solicitors, whether or not they are in private practice.
