“Excellent!I came away from this conference more knowledgeable and more enthusiastic about my professionalism.
Pragmatic yet paradigmatic – the seminars gave me both practical tools ready to implement as well as general frameworks in which to understand the broader aspects of legal practice with corporations.”

My Competitive Advantage
I give you three reasons:
One, quite valuable for distinguishing oneself from our collegial competition.
Two, certainly enhances the awareness of assumed expectations, and thus improved partnering.
Three, an inside track towards client development of U.S. Corporate lawyers and law departments.
There are no big secrets revealed here, but practical insights, presented in a coherent framework that allows one to see and understand the whole picture.

My Competitive Advantage
I believe that the client sets the goal, together we agree on the strategy, and the local tactics are my prerogative. But this can bring a tension and risk especially with non-French clients.
Therefore, I enjoy to develop the Institute´s recommended approach.
One example that works marvelous for me: The decision-tree technique in a process management map. This is now my fundamental system because it communicates clearly what the client wants to know and control.
I have convinced Clients to trust me with this technique alone.
