WEBINAR: Survival and Best Practices for a Personal Injury Plaintiff Firm

Many personal injury plaintiff law firms are struggling and facing challenging times. Over the last few years, many firms have had to deal with the impact of tort reform, increased competition from other law firms doing extensive advertising, and weathering the last recession. As a result, personal injury plaintiff firms must reexamine their strategic options and refocus their firms.

Objectives:

• Discuss general survival strategies.
• Explain contingency fee profitability.
• Review how to manage the pipeline and key metrics.
• Identify ways to diversify your practice.
