What Every Managing Partner Needs to Know
About Highly Effective Firm Administrators
A Competent, Trusted COO Makes all the Difference in the World
Original Broadcast: September 20, 2017
Like it or not, your law firm is a business. As such, it’s critically important to hire, value and appreciate the important role that trusted and competent administrators and support staff play in order to keep your firm running smoothly and efficiently.
As managing partner, your role is that of CEO. Your principal firm administrator serves as COO. He/she is an essential part of your leadership team and should have a strong voice within firm leadership and, importantly, a seat at the table. Getting the right COO in place and valuing the important contributions he/she makes can be a “game-changer” for you and your firm.
In this MPF Webinar, we feature two pairs of managing partners and firm administrators. Oliver Yandle, Executive Director of the Association of Legal Administrators, will serve as co-moderator of the program.
Join us for a fast-paced, interactive panel discussion to learn:
- Why administrators are so important to running a successful law firm
- The importance of clearly defined roles and job descriptions for firm leaders
- How to develop and maintain a highly efficient and productive working relationship with your COO
