Managing a law firm is an
art and as many would agree this art was not taught in Law school. One more
important point is that, great Law firm management can be what makes the
difference between a great Law firm and a mediocre one.

A popular aspect Law firms
must also concentrate on is having adequate financial skills as a form of Law
firm management. Being able to ascertain how much comes into a Law firm
periodically and keeping proper records will help catapult a Law firm into a
profitable one.
Financial skills will help a
Law firm keep a proper Legal practitioner’s account and ensure such firm does
not run afoul of the Rules of professional conduct. Furthermore, it should be
noted that Legal practice management is the body of the knowledge that deals in
the organization, work practices and management of Law firms.
It covers the recruitment of
staff and the provision of machines, equipment and supplies necessary for
running a Law firm. It includes the selection of office accommodation and the
facilities that must be available in a Law office. It also encompasses the
vocational skills that every Practitioner must possess.
From the above, it is
obvious that Legal practice management skills combine the Legal practice skills
and management skills, which are both essential for engaging in Legal practice.
Most certainly this is an area of Law that must interest Lawyers as it is
crucial to advancing  in one’s Legal
career.
During the NBA Annual
General Conference, this topic will be discussed extensively by lawyers at the
session. It will an amazing opportunity for Lawyers to learn about developing
their Law firms and careers. The session is a workshop session and it would be
amazing for all delegates who attend.
