Do you employ new lawyers? Save yourself training time with the New Lawyer Accelerator Program
About the program
Lawcover sees claims arising from failure to properly supervise new lawyers, either because senior lawyers are overstretched or because remote working makes training more ad hoc. With workload demands to manage, senior lawyers often resort to training on the run, squeezing in time and dealing with whatever happens to come up in the practice.
That’s why the New Lawyer Accelerator Program has been developed, to provide new lawyers with consistent training on basic practical legal skills like taking instructions from clients, preparing briefs to counsel or managing workloads.
The program provides 20 hours of quality training, assisting partners and senior lawyers teach basic skills to new lawyers, leaving them free to focus on teaching them specific skills and providing individualised supervision.
