Risk management is important for all legal practitioners and law practices and it goes beyond just avoiding legal claims or lowering costs in terms of professional liability insurance premiums. The end result of good risk management is a successful law practice. Risk management must therefore become a part of a law practice’s strategic vision and culture. The following e-learning will aid law practices in implementing the following key areas of risk management.
- AWARENESS: Know what are the core categories of risks for every law practice.
- IDENTIFICATION: Identify areas of potential risk with a risk assessment checklist.
