Description
Costs (especially salaries) for law firms are going up, revenues are flat or dropping. This means margins are reduced and for the first time ever for many partners, profits are reduced. How do law firms best survive and indeed flourish in this changing world? We are moving from lawyers ‘have never had it so good’ (during the Covid-19 pandemic) to law firms risking failure and/or partner departures due to not managing profit.
This session will give you some ideas as to how to avoid margin squeeze, how to keep your firm profitable and how to avoid losing the most productive partners.
