LAWRISK – Advice, training and audit services for solicitors in private practice

See NEWS page for details of seminar designed for those setting up their own firm.

Quality standards and risk management have been the key themes in law firm management throughout the nineties and noughties– a period of tremendous change for private practice firms and the legal profession as a whole.  In recent years, many clients have used Lexcel as a model for dealing with the issues arising out of their risk management and client relationship management agendas. The impact of the Legal Services Act is the next big challenge.

Lawrisk and Damon Swindell have been providing practical down-to-earth management advice and training to solicitors since February 1992.  This is no general management consultancy. We are niche and specialist. To date, this has involved working with over 360 law firms in England and Wales with excursions into Scotland and over to the Channel Islands as well.

We could easily fill this page with that we have done and achieved in the past but we think you will be more interested in what we are doing now and in the future albeit underpinned by unrivalled knowledge and experience in the profession built up over 18 years. Here is a summary. please contact us for more details:

HELP & ADVICE- we can save you considerable partner and management time when addressing strategic, compliance and business development issues. You do not need to struggle identifying the options available to you. We will present them to you in a no nonsense style and help you to narrow them down to the best option. Then we "walk the walk" with you. We are not just talkers, we are doers!

TRAINING - you need skills beyond being a good practitioner in law. You need business skills and they can be acquired through relevant and tailored training and coaching. We train lawyers and law firm managers in management skills, simple, that's our focus. Our training is accredited by the SRA for CPD hours.

AUDIT - how do you know you are compliant? You do not need to find the skills or capacity to check compliance, we will do it for you. We have audited many firms and on behalf of insurers. Complacency regarding compliance is very dangerous. We can help you to manage that risk.

It's a cliche but we provide cost effective solutions for the management issues all law firms must address.
