Feedback from Participating SLPs

“Raising The Bar workshops gave us a holistic outlook and exposed us to real-world applications. Ultimately, this is not just a one-off seminar, but a stepping stone to transform your business in today’s changing environment. We are thankful that Raising The Bar has allowed us to develop not only as lawyers, but also as business owners.”

“We were very thankful for the efforts of the Law Society of Singapore in curating this valuable initiative. It was definitely worth the time and financial commitment. The funding support from Enterprise Singapore was a pleasant “bonus”.

“I would definitely encourage other law firms to take up the Raising The Bar programme as it helps to pinpoint areas for improvement in terms of business strategy development.”

“Having to go through the workshops, consultations and piloting phase for 3-4 months was an intense experience but it is achievable. We were amazed at how our accomplishments exceeded our initial goals!”

“Raising the Bar affirms and provides ‘the right nudge’ for law firms to explore effective ways to communicate their brand. We were pleasantly surprised that there was so much to learn from Raising The Bar.”

The ever-changing market is demanding that you do
Clients are rapidly adopting new technologies and seeking out firms that can offer innovative business models and services
More for less is the prevailing expectation from both corporate and private clients

The competition is no longer just traditional law firms. Alternative legal services providers and legal technology solutions are causing significant market disruptions. Resisting these disruptions will delay the progress and growth of your business. Firms that are able to embrace this changing landscape and adapt their offerings will grow and thrive.

It is time to raise the bar.
