What do clients really look for from their lawyers, and how can trainees develop the skills needed to build strong client relationships? This session from Foot Anstey will explore the relationship between a law firm and its clients, giving you practical insight into how lawyers support businesses across different legal disciplines.
You’ll discover why understanding a client’s business, sector and commercial objectives is just as important as providing strong legal advice, and hear about the role trainees can play in supporting client matters. The session will also explore different career journeys within the legal profession and how Foot Anstey’s training contract helps future lawyers develop the commercial awareness, client focus and practical skills needed to become trusted advisers.
