Preparing your law practice for the future is complex. Michele DeStefano, a former marketing executive and a University of Miami School of Law professor, focuses on how to develop a mind-set that can help you adapt to change and build a collaborative and diverse staff. Covering topics such as shifts in today’s legal markets, why cultural competency matters, and how to become a problem finder in addition to being a problem solver, DeStefano shares her strategies for tackling these issues. Including charts, lists, and other graphics, the book’s three sections can be reviewed independently or in sequence, allowing readers to pick and choose what interests them most.
