THE YOUNG LAWYERS LEGAL PRACTICE MANAGEMENT SPEED TRACK COURSE 2009
(“SPEEDTRACK LPMC”)


AM I IN CONTROL OF MY PRACTICE OR DOES MY PRACTICE CONTROL ME?

So you’re a young lawyer or a pupil-in-chambers.

Have you ever asked yourself the above question?

If you have, and you are still attempting to answer this question (honestly), read on.

After being called to the Bar most young lawyers face the problem of managing their practice effectively. From being a wide-eyed pupil-in-chambers with no liability, to being a full fledged lawyer, a young lawyer dives into legal practice head first, sometimes acclimatising to practice instantly, most times struggling to get to the surface for air.

In efforts to assist pupils-in-chambers and young lawyers settle into practice like ducks to water, the KL Bar Young Lawyers Committee, in collaboration with the KL Bar Practice Development Committee, is organising a crash course to provide young lawyers with the relevant know-how and tools to manage their practice.

The Young Lawyers Speed Track Legal Practice Management Course (“SpeedTrack LPMC”) is a comprehensive course with relevant topics conducted in an effective classroom-type setting. It is designed to be exhaustive and effective and is aimed at ensuring that young lawyers and pupils-in-chambers hit the ground running. The SpeedTrack LPMC covers all areas of practice, i.e.. Litigation, Corporate and Conveyancing and will provide the young lawyer and pupil with necessary practical knowledge and skills.

By attending the SpeedTrack LPMC, participants will find a sharp shift in focus from undergraduate academia, and research based pupilage to skills-based learning and professional training.

The SpeedTrack LPMC comprises 3 modules and is designed to focus on several areas:
1. Management Module
- Developing marketing, client services and people plans
