From a Networker to a Trusted Advisor

Trust is at the heart of every good relationship.

For a lawyer, it is the central ingredient that ties them to their clients and proves they provide advice worthy of payment.

But as law firms continue to merge and grow into national, regional and global-sized businesses with hundreds - if not thousands - of lawyers, it seems the traditional role of the lawyer as a trusted advisor has been eroded.

The position’s got to be earned – and that takes time and it takes consistent action - and in this special session with Richard we will dive deeper in on this subject.
