Program Description
Outstanding client service ensures repeat business, opportunities for cross-selling and new client referrals. So what is outstanding client service and are you delivering outstanding service consistently to all of your clients? Client service is what distinguishes top practitioners and firms. Clients and potential clients seek attorneys at all levels of experience who not only deliver cutting-edge legal advice, but who provide an outstanding work experience. WILEF’s panel of practitioners, who have distinguished themselves in providing exceptional client service, will address such topics as best-practices for client service, creating a client-service culture, soliciting client feedback and managing client expectations. They will also discuss their own experiences and the challenges of taking client service to the next level. Internal service (to firm partners and associates) is as important as external service to clients, so we will also explore techniques used by successful rainmakers for building outstanding relationships within a firm.
