Della Street is Retiring: Managing the Next Generation of Secretarial Services

November 8, 2006

2-4 pm Eastern   1-3 pm Central   Noon-2 pm Mountain   11 am-1 pm Pacific

Just as you thought things might be settling down, you notice rumblings of change. When experienced secretaries leave, it’s hard to find qualified replacements. Newer attorneys have different expectations for the secretaries than the more senior attorneys have had in the past. You are being pressured by the partners to improve staffing ratios – without diminishing their personal support! What do you do? Learn about the evolving role of the legal secretary and how your firm can implement new strategies to meet the shifting paradigm for managing secretarial services. This session will explore ways to:

  • Understand and respond to the changing workforce
  • Meet the changing expectations of your attorneys
  • Identify the new skills secretaries need to be successful – and promote training programs to develop these skills
  • Design new ways to organize and manage secretarial services
  • Develop creative strategies for recruiting, training, and home-growing your support staff

This Webinar may not provide you with all the answers to this complex issue, but it will help you identify the steps you can take to revitalize your secretarial services in an ever-changing law firm landscape.

Speaker:
Nancy Siegel, past president of ALA, understands what legal administrators need to know to make their firms hum. Siegel is the founder of the Siegel Management Strategies LLC, a management consulting practice focused on the business needs of law firms. Prior to establishing Siegel Management Strategies in 2001, Ms. Siegel had over 20 years of experience as the executive director of two AM-LAW 100 national law firms and one mid-sized San Francisco law firm.
