Breaking the Billable Hour Habit - BUS101
Teacher: Ed Rholl
Cost: $129.00 |
Breaking the Billable Hour HabitCourse Overview - 100 Minutes - $79
The wide availability of legal information and the rise of websites (as well as books, tapes, CDs, etc.) that provide legal information from non-lawyers continues to undermine the business of practicing law.
One important development affecting law firms is the so-called commoditization of certain types of legal information. This is a form of unbundling taken to the extreme. The goal of this seminar is to teach lawyers to participate in this economy and to do so within the bounds of ethics and good business practices.
Regardless of how many non-lawyers sell legal information, especially online, the fact is that lawyers and law firms remain the best and most trusted source for this information. As lawyers become more skilled at providing information to clients and prospective clients in the same basic ways it is being provided by non-lawyers, they can recapture some of the lost business brought about by such competitors.
In this seminar you will learn how to ethically, safely and profitably provide various types of legal information that can generate revenues and build new relationships. Course Highlights - Limitations on the billable hour dependent lawyer
- The hidden assets every lawyer can leverage now

Business Development in the Constant Communication World - BUS301
Teacher: Ed Rholl
Cost: $129.00 |
Business Development in the Constant Communication World
Course Overview - 80 Minutes - $79
Many law firms are seeking to expand their level of sophistication in the realm of marketing, while still following the guidelines of professional business etiquette and bar rules.
Constant Communication is a new paradigm wrought by the rapid development of our technology tools juxtaposed against the slower growth in our ability to manage these tools effectively. In the new paradigm information overload besets nearly everyone. While the tools themselves often seem to be the cause of overload, when we look more closely we learn that it is the way we use the tools that actually causes overload, stress and burnout.
In this course we begin by looking at the impact of constant communication on lawyers in their practices. We focus upon the converging factors of more demands and less time to illustrate how it feels to be at the mercy of incredible technological advances when our coping skills simply havenít caught up. We then expand our understanding broadly to see that this is impacting everyone, including our peers and clients. We then move into a discussion about how to erect personal barriers to better cope with the twin factors of increasing demands and less time.
In the second part of the course we examine how to communicate with others, specifically how to market, in the new paradigm. We begin by addressing the key factors of the new paradigm and how people are responding to them. Within each we discuss how to effectively pierce through the barriers people have erected to protect themselves from being inundated by information. As we discuss how to do this, we teach lawyers how to accomplish it without simply increasing the information burdens on othersóespecially others with whom lawyers want to create long-term relationships.
