Paperback, Thomson Reuters

Bennett on Lawyering is a practice-based guide, focussing on general issues in the practice and business of law. The publication covers an overview of a lawyer’s responsibilities as a member of the Law Society of Ontario, and to some extent those of a paralegal, the lawyer’s membership and Code of Professional Conduct. It covers representation of the client in the boardroom, in court and in the media. The book explains the thoughts in maintaining the client relationship, the retainer, and managing a client file. So clients are not mystified, the book covers daily practice skills, precedents, professional development, account collection, advocacy, specialties, errors and omissions insurance, marketing and more. This book goes behind the closed doors and describes how the legal profession operates as a profession but also as a business. For the new and experienced lawyers and for the curious client and public, this book offers an overview of the practice and business of law, some anecdotal advice and some advice of universal application.
