planning in a rapidly changing commercial environment
As the practice of law and client needs evolve, law firms must tackle complex management and leadership challenges. Law firm leaders must think strategically to plan for the future, grow revenue, and protect the firm from risk - while, at the same time, empowering their lawyers and staff to excel in their practices.
Planning for the future requires dedication to building new leaders from within the partner ranks to address succession. Growing revenue requires critical review of financial planning and budgetary controls and harnessing the power of the firm’s economic data to optimize efficiency, pricing, and revenue streams. For an increasing number of firms, growth planning includes exploring opportunities to pair with other firms to expand practice offerings or geographic footprint to better meet client needs. Enhancing client intake and conflicts processes has come into focus at many firms as a vital component of risk management. And, as always, ongoing attention and improvement to management structures, partner compensation systems, and lateral hiring practices continue to be critical to a law firm’s success.
We assist clients with these management challenges and those that lie ahead.
