The Law Society the created an Outline of a Law Office Manual to help you develop policies for your firm. This outline is intended as a tool to help identify sections that may be relevant for your law firm.  Not all sections will be applicable to all offices. For example, if you will be working alone initially, you may not need to create employee relations policies until you decide to add another member to your team. However, other sections, dealing with matters such as confidentiality, conflicts of interest, file management and deadlines/limitations management, are necessary for any firm, no matter the size.
