Management Course Stage 1 is the Solicitors Regulation Authority's compulsory management training course which all solicitors below 3 years' PQE must attend. It is also a useful introduction to many core management techniques for more senior lawyers who have not previously undertaken formal management training. The course covers the basic principles in areas such as understanding the environment for legal practice, managing law firm finance, client care and managing people (organisation, motivation, delegation and dealing with underperformance).
It is delivered by CLT's highly experienced trainers, who have extensive training and practical law firm management experience. The course is run with limited numbers and is case study based allowing delegates to practise many of the skills being taught.
It satisfies the training requirements for Code of Conduct Rule 5 (supervision of a practice) and counts towards the supervision skills requirements of the Legal Services Commission Specialist Quality Mark Standard and can be followed by Management Course Stage 2 which covers further skills required by the law firm manager.
CLT are also pleased to offer separate tailored Management Stage 1 courses for in-house lawyers and local government lawyers. All our Management Stage 1 courses can be delivered in-house at a firm or organisation as required.
