Lawyers: Have you thought about training for your front office staff and paralegals? When those vital members of your practice fully understand the Collaborative process, the client experience is improved, cases proceed more efficiently, and the number of successfully concluded matters increases. Bring those office mates along for a reduced fee per participant during either the course you attend or the next course available if you don’t want everyone out of the office at once. Contact us for registration details.
Registration fees are refundable up to 21 days before the training minus any credit card processing fees. Within 21 days of the training another participant can be substituted up to 3 days before the training.
Additional information regarding the training will be emailed to paid participants right after registration and again right before the class. Access to the training materials via our Learning Management System, LearnDash, will be provided approximately one week before the first training dates. Please let us know if you do not receive the email confirmation so we can sort that out well before the first training dates. Please make sure to check your junk folder before contacting us.
