Venice, CA – May 21, 2012. Noted law practice management guru Ed Poll has just released a revised and expanded 16th anniversary edition of his popular handbook,
The Profitable Law Office Handbook: Attorney's Guide to Successful Business Planning (2012).
The new book builds on the format of the previous edition, taking lawyers through the business planning process in an easy-to-understand, step-by-step format. Readers will learn the essential elements of how to create a plan that a law practice will really use, because it will be workable and manageable even for the smallest firm. The book also includes 12 valuable planning forms, with electronic versions downloadable through the LawBiz ® website.
"I've compiled many of the best practices in running a law practice into simple and effective guidelines in this handbook," said Ed Poll. "Over the years I've been told that the handbook has helped demystify the process of creating and executing a business plan for law firms. No matter how much legal expertise you and your partners have, whether or not you will be a successful entity comes down to how effective you are at managing the Business of Law®. That's what this book is all about."
Published by LawBiz® Publishing Company, the new 118-page book is priced at $49.00, but is available through LawBiz Management for the special pre-publication price of $25 at the LawBizStore.com until July 1, 2012.
The book will also be available on Amazon.com in both hardcopy and Kindle editions in July.
