Prioritisation and Time Management for Lawyers
Join this CPD training online at the specified time
In a world where client demands, deadlines, and billable targets constantly compete for your attention, time can feel like your most limited resource. Working longer hours may seem like the answer — but sustainable success in legal practice comes from working smarter, not harder.
This focused online workshop over two half-days will help you take proactive control of your time, manage competing priorities, and create space for the work that truly matters — whether that’s client service, business development, or your own wellbeing. You’ll gain practical tools and strategies to boost productivity, reduce stress, and achieve better results for both you and your clients.
By attending this course, you will learn how to:
-
Recognise the value of prioritisation and how it drives higher-quality results
-
Use a practical framework to analyse and focus your work effectively
-
Shift from reactive to proactive working patterns
-
Align your daily activities with your personal, team, and firm goals
-

This is an interactive, hands-on workshop, combining short theory sessions with practical exercises, discussion, and reflection. You will also receive access to Quiver Management’s Online Academy where you will be able to revisit all the models and techniques shared during the workshop.
Take a day to step back, refocus, and learn how to get more of the right things done — with less stress and greater impact.
