Event Description
Co-Sponsored by the Practice
Management & Marketing Section and the Solo
& Small Firm Section
By using real life everyday experiences of customers in
the restaurant industry, we will evaluate what constitutes poor, good and
excellent customer service. Service will be evaluated for quality of product,
expediency, expectations, courtesy, integrity, value and friendliness. Through
facilitated discussion, participants will be asked to share their worst
dining-out experiences and tell why they "would never go back" and then we will
translate these experiences into the legal service industry to see how lawyers
can sometime fail to adequately serve their clients. Participants will also be
asked to share their favorite dining-out experience so the group can understand
how attorneys can provide excellent customer service. Participants will come
away understanding that, just like it takes more than good food to make for a
good restaurant experience, it takes more than just by-the-book legal work to
make for a good attorney-client experience.
Check-in
begins at 11:45 am; special meal requests must be made in advance.
