This manual is a simple, straightforward "do it yourself" guide to basic practice management. It is designed to help a professionally unqualified member of the support staff who has been given the job of practice manager, although it can also be used by partners to run a firm themselves.
Presented in an attractive ring binder, this is a step by step, easy to understand guide to the structuring, organisation and running of a legal practice. It covers all aspects of the job including equipment, communications, recruitment, training, personnel, salaries, computerisation, budgeting, record keeping, and marketing.
It gives examples of necessary paperwork, forms, standard letters and internal staff handbooks. The writer is a (now) experienced practice manager who had to find out about her tasks the hard way. She has planned this manual to help others in the same position to avoid the pitfalls and heartache she encountered.
