The structure of a firm, its management, practice groups, industry groups and branch offices, can be critical to future growth and flexibility. We can evaluate whether your current structures promote your strategic objectives, support your firm's values and culture, and optimize effective management.
As firms grow more complex and dispersed, the need for skilled leaders who can manage effectively has increased dramatically. We can conduct an evaluation of your leadership strengths and needs at all levels – firm management, practice groups, committees and client and industry teams. Implementing performance programs will provide a sustainable structure for ongoing improvement of your practice management.
Human capital management is the 21st Century challenge that every law firm must meet to be successful. We can provide sophisticated tools to help you identify, motivate, develop and retain your professionals.
Lateral hires are the professionals that law firms often have the most information on, and yet the least success in retaining. Having invested substantial effort and money in a candidate, make sure your lateral hires are successful by utilizing the evaluation and integration tools we offer.
Including the perspectives and talents of a diverse talent pool enriches your firm, the individuals practicing there and the products you deliver to your clients. However, the track record of law firms integrating and retaining minority attorneys has been abysmal. We can help you target the best matches for your firm and ensure that they stay to produce the benefits that you expect.
Sophisticated law firms take a cue from their corporate clients by carefully evaluating the major risks that their firms face, such as potential liability, critical human capital issues and negative practice trends, and devising, managing and auditing systems that minimize those risks.
