Communication Guidelines That Create Better, Happier Clients [Webinar]

This article is for informational purposes only. It is not intended to be used in place of professional or legal advice in any way. Lawyers, law students, judges, and other legal professionals in Massachusetts can find more on scheduling a Free & Confidential consultation with a law practice advisor here.

In this edition of Webinars for Busy Lawyers, Carol Schiro Greenwald will share the communication guidelines clients love.

Do you hear from your clients too often? Does it seem they expect you to communicate more often than you’d prefer, or can even manage? Failure to communicate is a leading source of malpractice claims, while the right communication strategy can turn a difficult client into a referral source.

Today’s clients want to be regarded as equal partners in the resolution of their legal issues. They want to understand their options and participate in the process that solves their problem. And when you create the right framework for your clients’ participation, your own experience working on their cases improves too.

This webinar will explain how to establish communication guidelines that set client expectations and provide a roadmap for participation, including:

  • Agreeing to a checklist of communication preferences
  • Creating a project budget and agreement as to how often the client wishes to updated
  • Adopting “literacy protocols” for all client-oriented written materials
  • Communicating progress in invoices
