Learn practical tools and strategic approaches to spearhead your law firm into the future.

The six-week Business Strategy course is a core subject in the College Of Law’s Legal Business Programs. It may be taken as a single subject or as a core subject for one of the College’s award programs being a Graduate Certificate of Legal Business, a Graduate Diploma of Legal Business, or a Master of Legal Business.

The legal profession has evolved rapidly over recent years. Which means it’s time to reassess your business strategy – and ask some hard questions. Should strategy always be centred on growth? Are there other barometers for success? Could collaboration – rather than competition – be a more effective strategy for your firm? This course will let you look through a critical lens at your organisation’s approach to legal business strategy

During this six-week course, you’ll start out by gaining practical insight into strategic planning methodology. Then you’ll delve deeper and learn how to flip the traditional mode of business planning on its head; opening the door to a host of new ways to rethink your offerings, partnerships and business goals. By the end of the course, you will have developed your own, cutting-edge strategic plan based on your learnings. One that will serve you now – and well into the future.
