Today’s legal clientele have needs that go beyond legal outcomes. Learn how to take an empathic and thoughtful approach to enrich experiences for your clients and community.
As The Client-Centered Law Firm outlines, empathy is key to running a client-centered law firm—and to offering a great client experience. Seeing the world through clients’ eyes helps attorneys anticipate client needs, concerns, and frustrations—so they can serve their clients at a deeper level, which in turn increases loyalty.
In this session, you’ll hear how two award-winning firms are meaningfully connecting with their clients and legal community—and how your firm can follow suit. The firms will also address:
- Ways to show up for your clients—and how to use technology to complement your empathic approach
- How building more empathetic relationships and personalizing service can increase client satisfaction and retention—and lead to new referrals
- How to inspire others in the industry to lead with empathy
- The business benefits of strong community ties
