We focus in the following areas:

Training
We provide training that is timely, relevant and focused. Our experience is in developing and presenting high quality and systematic professional development programs.

Mentoring
In years gone by, long before the word "mentoring" was commonly used, the sole method of learning to be a lawyer was through mentoring. Today, the pace and pressures of a busy law practice make mentoring much more difficult. By designing and developing mentoring programs, we can make mentoring a reality in your firm. Firms across the country are finding this to be not only the most effective retention tool available, but to be personally satisfying in a way few other aspects of modern law practice are.

Practice Group Support
Hildebrandt Associates and law practice management consultants have recently, once again, confirmed the importance of the practice group structure in the training and development of associates and partners. Frequently, training resources are marketed to practice group chairs who may find they need significant assistance in determining the best use of those resources to develop senior associates and partners. The Christison Group will take a leading role in assisting practice group chairs in that endeavor.

Knowledge Management
The most successful firms are launching what is known as "knowledge management" programs. Law is a knowledge-based business. Knowledge management is the newly developing field dealing with "tacit knowledge," the "know-how between the ears," the knowledge gained through years of practice and experience. By managing this knowledge, firms are leveraging that knowledge–enabling lawyers to work efficiently, confidently and profitably. Increasingly, sophisticated clients are asking about knowledge management programs, and selecting law firms based upon those responses. The Christison Group will assist law firms in the development and implementation of cutting edge law firm knowledge management programs.

The Christison Group, through its in-house resources and its partnerships across the nation, will develop a training program on virtually any topic.
