Product Description

Client reach, growth, and satisfaction are foundational elements in operating a successful law practice. But practice growth is challenging and often brings on a daunting decision: Should I sign on with this client or not?

Counsel, in all fields, face unique ethical issues when evaluating a case or client for representation and strengthening this decision-making process is vital to your practice’s success. If you have trouble turning down potential clients, then this program is for you.

In this new program, we discuss how to do a thorough intake, how to evaluate if a potential client is right for you, reasons for turning down a potential client, and how to ethically turn down a potential client. This program is valuable to both new and seasoned practitioners, and employs real-world hypotheticals to illustrate how to avoid difficulties in declining business.
