"This is a book about efficient effectiveness. It not only motivates its readers to assemble their personal agendas of `right things, but is also a cornucopia of suggested techniques for doing those things `in the right way." Whether it be managing client relationships, handling heavy workloads, delivering client value in an efficient and profitable manner or developing an entrepreneurial approach to the practice of law, there is something in this book - indeed, many things - that every practitioner from the most experienced senior partner to the most junior fee earner will find of immense value. Those who say this is just a book about common sense would be right. The difference between this and other bits of `common sense, is that Mr. Riskin offers ways to turn common sense into everyday `best practice."
Professor David Yates, Solicitor and Warden of Robinson College in the University of Cambridge; Deputy Chairman of Governors of The College of Law of England & Wales
