Day 2 Workshop Options
Building a High-Performance Law Firm: Cultivating a Winning Culture
Presenter: Valerie Peterson
Description: A thriving law firm starts with its people. This workshop explores how to build and sustain a firm culture that attracts and retains top talent while fostering a motivated, engaged, and high-performing team. You’ll learn leadership techniques that inspire, strategies for collaboration, and practical tools to enhance team effectiveness. This session will provide actionable insights for creating an environment where every team member—from managing partners to support staff—contributes to firm growth, delivers exceptional client results, and remains engaged in the firm’s long-term success. Walk away with a concrete action plan to build and sustain a high-performance culture.
Who Should Attend: Law firm owners, managing partners, and operations managers with 3+ years of experience leading a law firm team.
Create Your Next Chapter
Presenter: Lori Pulvermacher
Description: You’ve built a law firm that delivers for your clients and your community, but what does the next chapter look like for you? Whether you’re ready to step back, step up, or shift your focus, this workshop is designed to help you make intentional, strategic decisions about your role and the future of your firm. We’ll explore a wide range of transition paths: from becoming the rainmaker or CEO of your firm, to grooming a successor, merging with another practice, or planning a successful exit. You’ll gain actionable strategies for monetizing your firm, evolving your leadership role, and building a business that runs and grows without your constant involvement.
Who Should Attend: Law firm owners and leaders who are thinking about what’s next—whether that means growth, transition, or exit.
Growth Strategies for a Great Practice and Great Life
Presenter: Lori Goetz
Description: This workshop provides a comprehensive approach to helping lawyers grow their law firms while maintaining a balanced and fulfilling life. It explores key strategic concepts such as productivity systems, client development, cash flow and profitability, and staffing. Participants will gain practical tips and insights on how to build a thriving practice while also enjoying a rewarding personal life.
Who Should Attend: Attorneys who are brand new to Atticus, as well as newer members still developing essential business skills and who have not yet been placed in a group.
Team Leader Advantage: Growing Yourself, Growing Your Law Firm
Presenter: Patti Paz
Description: This workshop is designed for team members looking to develop their leadership skills and grow within the firm—without burning out. Your personal growth directly impacts the success and expansion of the law firm, and this session will help you align both. Through growth mapping, strategic brainstorming, and future planning, we’ll connect your professional development with the overall success of your firm. You’ll also learn strategies for maintaining balance and recharging, so you can lead with clarity and strength.
