The business of law isn't what it used to be. Competition is up and margins are flat. Clients demand value from their lawyers and are willing to shop around to find it. Lawyers face increasing competition from customary rivals as well as online DIWAL (Do-It-Without-A-Lawyer) services that have commoditized many legal services. These pressures are forcing lawyers to re-examine their practices and processes. Lean Six Sigma is a managerial approach that improves performance by eliminating the waste of time, effort and talent, while assuring that work is done right the first time. It prioritizes defect prevention over defect detection. Finally, it asserts that any use of resources that doesn’t create value for your client is waste and should be eliminated. In this seminar, you'll learn how these principles apply to the practice of law; and how you can use them to use to improve your workflow and boost your bottom line.
