Law firm form handbook in the Beck-Verlag
The publishing house C.H. Beck is the leading publisher in the field of legal literature. Therefore the publishing house has now taken over the task of supporting law firms also with regard to the entrepreneurial side. For this purpose, it publishes a form manual, which includes the most important elements of law firm management in the form of templates, checklists, etc. Christoph H. Vaagt is the author for questions of law firm management: he describes in the form of templates how law firm management can cover the most important questions of strategic, but also of daily project management.
