Details

Some country law firms are highly successful, while others struggle. Even within the same location, owners of a few country law firms operate profitable practices, engage in productive relationships with clients and are surrounded by highly motivated staff. Meanwhile, their colleagues are stressed, overwhelmed and contemplating closing their doors.

So how and why do some country law firms not only survive but also grow and profit, while others dwindle and disappear? This book provides an answer to the question based on the candid insights, secrets and experiences of more than 40 owners of highly successful country law firms, as well as those who have struggled and failed, but have gone on to find success by learning the lessons of failure.

This book opens the door into the real lives of country law firm owners to clearly identify these challenges and to discover the Seven Elements that have facilitated the creation of successful country law firms.

The chapters include conversations (in their own words) with country law firm owners because their words are powerful and relevant to their colleagues. Each chapter concludes with either a 'Masterclass' or 'Lessons Learnt', intended to provide the reader with a framed summary that may have direct and useful relevance in the context of their own experiences and issues.

Foreword by The Hon Chris Kourakis, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of South Australia
