Join us today as we look at recent developments and case law regarding the Insurance Corporation of British Columbia’s Enhanced Care system (or no fault system). This system was designed to increase client care and remove legal fees and other costs associated with motor vehicle accident claims decreasing costs to drivers.

Whatever side you take, this is a quickly developing story that will be interesting to watch. Here is the link to the Notice of Civil Claim for T imothy Schober and Trial Lawyers Association of British Columbia v. the Attorney General of British Columbia.

Series: Reinventing Your Corporate Culture - Chaos to Clarity

  Next Step:  Getting clear on how you want your firm to feel and be. What does that mean? What does that mean to you?  We all know you already have a corporate or firm culture and whether it has evolved intentionally or haphazardly, it's there. What we're trying to figure out today is whether we have to break it and put it back together, if we need to start from scratch, or make subtle adjustments. Whether you're inheriting an existing corporate culture or creating your own, we must start by getting clear on what we're working with now, and probably more importantly, what we want to work with.   To find out more about Ramona and what we are all up to at Ascend Legal 101 you can find us at: http://www.ascendlegalrecruiting.com/ Now all of our long form conversations like this one can be found on your favourite Podcast platform.

TOUGH LOVE FOR THE OLD BOYS! Updating firm culture to attract and retain staff.

  How do you manage when there is staff turn-over? There is a lot of value in this video. I know you can pull it off because you have to.   You have to.    And we wouldn’t be talking about this if it wasn’t a thing. One of the most challenging parts of my business these days is leading “well established” law firms into changing their corporate culture to attract and retain new staff.   We have been doing things a certain way for a long time. It is easy to become complacent in an environment where we are not forced to keep up - but now it's game on. Get out your legal pad and pen and start taking notes so you can ask these questions to someone in your office who knows the answers.
