Presented by Nora Riva Bergman
Monday, June 4, 2012
12:30-1:00 p.m.
Moderated by Alan S. Gassman of Gassman Law Associates
If you’re like most attorneys, you spend too many days “putting out fires.” You’re overwhelmed with work and feel like there are “just not
enough hours in the day.” If these scenarios sound familiar, here’s the bad news: Your law practice is running to you, not the other way
around! Here’s the good news: There is something you can do about it.
Join us for a fun, fast-paced 30 minutes and begin to put the “6 Keys” to work for you to take back control
of your life and your practice. You’ll learn . . .

Why the first key: “TANSTATM” is the key to all the other keys

What (or who) is the biggest “time thief” in your office and what you can do about it

How to actually get your work done during the day
. . . and much more!
