Five Things Every Lawyer Should Be Doing

Foster Good Relations

Make it a habit to return phone calls and emails by the end of each day.

This simple practice builds trust and shows your clients and colleagues that they are valued.

Proactively Contact Your Client Communication

Don’t wait for your clients to contact you.

Regularly update them on their matters, even if there are no new developments. This proactive approach reassures clients and keeps them informed.

Explore Existing Technology

Spend five minutes each day exploring the technology you use.

This small investment of time can uncover new features or shortcuts that enhance your productivity.

Specialise In Something

Dedicate five minutes a day to reading about an area of law you enjoy.

Over time, this consistent effort will help you develop a specialisation or niche, setting you apart in your field.

Walk

Make time for a daily walk, no matter how or where.

This simple habit promotes physical health, clears your mind, and can improve your overall productivity and well-being.
