NWLC Practice Managers Group
On 9th February we have Performance Measurement and Benchmarking as our topic for the day. More details of the programme for the day will be announced shortly on the website.
If you or a colleague wish to join the Group that’s absolutely fine – we’d welcome further input from Practice Management /Business Development colleagues as well as legal practitioners.
All the presentations from the sessions we held on the 30th June and 17th October are available in the Documents area of the website.

In addition we are holding a Risk Management workshop on 17th November in Rochdale.
The session is all about Legal Risk Management and will be lead by Damon Swindell.
Damon is an independent Lexcel assessor amongst other things! His website at www.lawrisk.co.uk explains what he offers and we are delighted to be welcoming
Damon back to lead the Risk Management session in November.
