In the world of professional service relationships are the new field of advantage, one that offers longer-lasting success in business and quality in life. Professional life presents tremendous challenges, not just in the context of the skills and intelligence we are expected to apply but, more importantly, in the context of the relationships that arise in the course of our daily work. These relationships determine our sense of self-worth, our well-being, and the success of the business in which we operate.

This book explores relationships from the perspective of a lawyer with more than 20 years' experience working in firms of varying sizes, from provincial to city to international, and of building his own firm, providing valuable and practical insights.
