This program is designed for lawyers and administrators who play an active role in attracting, interviewing, selecting, and retaining entry level and experienced lawyers. Carolyn Whemann will review trends in the 1999 marketplace, what attracts candidates to a firm, how to sharpen questioning, listening and evaluative skills during interviews, and how to elicit important behavioral information in areas beyond academic qualification. Finally, the program will highlight how to 'close the deal' with top candidates and how to create a work environment which helps new lawyers assimilate and enhance retention. The global legal market place is changing. Every firm will need a strategy to gain benefit from the emerging global economy and ensure the firms a share of this potentially spectacular growth market.
Global business requires both global and local law firms.
This session will explore the emerging structure of the global legal services marketplace and international positioning strategies that promise success, whether your firm is presently and international giant or a domestic solo practice. Ward Bower, principal at Altman Weil Pensa, is the featured speaker for this program.
