Hello Law is for you.
⚫️ For our experienced lawyer followers, remember when you first started out in practice? If you hadn’t worked in the industry before, it would have likely been a pretty confronting experience and possibly quite different to what you thought it would be (and definitely different to uni!)
⚫️ For new law students, we bet you’re itching to see how it all works in practice and start getting into the right headspace for your career in practice.
⚫️ For grads and new lawyers, imagine you had someone alongside (independent of your work) that you could reach out to for anything and everything; a group just like you and some others that have been there before that can share some wisdom.
Hello Law is for you.

Squad Event: Word processing tips and tricks every lawyer should know
*Squad Members Only*
Every new lawyer has to embark on the unknown of legal word processing. If you haven’t yet, you’re probably wondering what’s would be so important about typing in law. Well, it’s a lot more than that.
In this workshop, we’ll work through some basic necessities of word processing in law including things like tracking changes, cross-referencing, tables, formatting, numbering conventions, styles and version control.
New lawyers specifically can’t rely on secretarial support but for those that have secretaries, sometimes they could be away and something urgent comes up or you may just want to fix something while you’re in your document. Having the skills to fix word processing dilemmas is a brilliant tool to have in your arsenal!
See you there!

Learning how to trust yourself is one of the most important things – whether you are a law student, law graduate or junior lawyer.
As lawyers, some of us are conditioned to second-guess ourselves. Why?
Starting out as a lawyer there is a lot of learning to do. You must remember that you do not need to know everything.
Be aware of your feelings and thoughts, take care of yourself, build your self-confidence and trust yourself.
By being you and being vulnerable – this builds strong relationships and true connections.
……and this is what HELLO LAW is all about!

Encourage Connections
Humans need connection.
Now that remote work is becoming more “normal” does your employer continue to encourage connections with you and your colleagues?
Are you continuing to engage with your colleagues despite not being at the office?
Connection helps with building a more effective and efficient workplace right?
We all strive for a team that collaborates, nurtures healthy working relationships, and promotes sharing of skills, experience and knowledge.
So today is a reminder to improve or put in place some more meaningful connections by some simple action:
🎧Encourage consistent weekly team meetings
🎧Encourage everyone to add to the conversation at least once during each meeting
🎧Encourage the casual conversation – don’t just make it about work
Hello Law thrives on connection.

Lawyers, let's talk about the elephant in the room….Costs!
Most clients expect to pay something when they walk through your door or pick up the phone, so it is important that you spend the time to put in place structures or guides for yourself and your staff to manage the topic of talking costs with your clients (or potential clients).
Today, Michele discussed several great tips on how to manage the conversations with clients:
👉Have a bring up system to review your WIP to give you the best chance of managing your client's costs
👉 Incorporate a good procedure or process for talking costs with your client (or potential client)
👉 Talk to the client about how your firm prices (i.e. whether you do fixed fee or time costing)
👉 If you are a junior or early career lawyer, talk to your supervisor/boss – this shows initiative that you are managing your files, being accountable and managing things the best you can.
👉 Process is everything!
To all our Squad Members – the Squad Events are recorded so you can view them at a time that is convenient for you.

📖The Oxford's definition of “connectedness” is:
“a feeling that you have a link with someone or something or are part of a group”
In today’s increased remote and isolated working environments remember to stay connected.
“Communication is merely an exchange of information, but connection is an exchange of our humanity.” – Sean Stephenson
