An Intermediate-Level Programme for 3+ PQE Solicitors
The Solicitors Regulation Authority defines competence as “the ability to perform the roles and tasks required by one’s job to the expected standard.” While technical excellence is assumed by clients, it is often the non-technical competencies, leadership, management, communication, and business awareness, that make the crucial difference to client satisfaction and firm performance.
This interactive course is designed for solicitors with at least three years’ post-qualification experience who currently hold, or are preparing to take on, management or supervision responsibilities. During this session, delegates will explore how to meet the SRA Competence Statement standards while enhancing their effectiveness as managers and business contributors.
Participants will gain insight into the key aspects of management within law firms, including profitability, people leadership, and client relationship development, building the business skills that drive both individual and firm success.
