About the Course

A Course in Client-Centered Lawyering

Clio’s Client-Centered Course is a four-part series that introduces the concept and importance of implementing a client-centered approach at your law firm. During the course, you’ll learn from influential legal professionals who have implemented client-centered models at their firms—and you’ll gain insights from the book on client-centered lawyering, The Client-Centered Law Firm by Clio CEO and Co-founder Jack Newton.

Benefits of Client-Centered Certification

Law firms that design their processes and services with a focus on their clients’ needs end up seeing more reviews and more referrals, leading to more new business—as well as increased firm efficiency and revenue. Becoming a Clio-Certified Client-Centered Law Firm involves learning the essentials of client-centered lawyering, which you can implement at your firm to deliver a better client experience, make your life easier, and improve your bottom line.
