With this becoming common practice, it is now essential for those at the helm of their firm's profitability to take a deep dive into its real fundamentals.The Future of Profitability Models and Analysis for Law Firms provides this kind of comprehensive exploration into the recent and revolutionary approaches firms are adopting in their pursuit of greater returns in this current period of renaissance for the law.

Book excerpt: This is a book for solo and small firm attorneys. No matter where you are in the process of building your firm's financial foundation, we've got the tools and information that can take you to the next level. There is no shame in not knowing how to handle your firm's finances: We've dealt with hundreds of attorneys who are great lawyers, but share this same problem to one degree or another. It's not your fault. The law school you attended prepared you to be a lawyer, but likely left you completely unequipped to handle the business side of practicing law. Most of them adhere to the idea that the practice of law is a lofty, mission-driven profession, aimed at serving clients and righting wrongs - a mission that should be untainted by the concerns of business. Unfortunately, many mission-driven firms don't have the opportunity to serve their clients for very long because they can't fund their mission. Don't let this happen to you.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle.

Download or read book Client Value and Law Firm Profitability written by Jim Hassett Ph. D. and published by Legalbizdev. This book was released on 2014-09-01 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The primary goal of this book is to help law firms adapt to a rapidly changing marketplace by providing insights into what has worked at other firms and what hasn't. Many articles and books have been written by law school and business school professors and by countless consultants analyzing how the legal profession is changing. The only thing that's been missing from the conversation is public statements by the people who actually run large law firms. These senior decision makers rarely publish anything on their tactics and strategies. They are the ones who deal with these issues every day and whose very livelihood depends on coming up with the right answers. What do they think? To answer this question, LegalBizDev founder Jim Hassett interviewed leaders from 50 AmLaw 200 firms in 2013 and 2014. This is the only research on the topic which is based on confidential in-depth interviews with chairs, managing partners, senior partners, and firm executives such as CEOs, COOs, and CFOs. The name of every individual who participated in the research is confidential and all quotes are anonymous. This approach has enabled senior decision makers to speak frankly and openly about what they really think. Since the participants in the study were promised that they would not be quoted by name, they were unusually frank in their responses, including the law firm chairman who said that "lawyers are about as dumb as you could possibly be about understanding how our product is made. The lawyers who understand how to make it and who can manage that process efficiently are going to be the winners." The law firm leaders also felt free to speak about both the business problems they face and possible solutions, like the managing partner who noted that "I have a $10 million practice. But that could be a disaster for a firm, because it could cost them $11 million to get $10 million. But nobody ever talks about it that way." According to Altman Weil Principal Tom Clay, "Although Jim's interviews were with 50 large law firm leaders, his commentary and takeaways should be taken to heart by every law firm, whatever its size."

Book excerpt: Law firms today are undergoing a period of continued change and competition. Law firm leaders are faced with increased pressure to raise revenues despite growing competition and changing client demands. The slow pace of growth in the global economy has had an impact on law firms, and many continue to fight to remain profitable in the wake of the economic downturn. Additional factors, such as changing regulation in the UK which has opened up the legal industry to new entrants, and the focus on alternative fee arrangements and new pricing methods in both the UK and the US, can further the demands on law firms to compete and grow. As a result, law firm leaders are under pressure to find new and better ways to increase productivity and profitability. Targeting Profitability: Strategies to Improve Law Firm Performance is an expert guide on profitability strategies for law firms. This report brings together the views of respected experts on law firm profitability from both the UK and the US, and it outlines specific areas within a firm that can be targeted to introduce improvements, adapt processes and training, and as a result increase profitability. These experts share their views on what impacts profitability within a firm, and they provide advice and tips on what can be done to make improvements. A law firm's overall objective should be to meet changing client and market needs in a manner that is profitable, and this report sets out important steps law firm leaders can take in order to meet those objectives.
Download or read book BigLaw written by Mitt Regan and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2021-01-12 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Great Recession intensified large law firms’ emphasis on financial performance, leading to claims that lawyers in these firms were now guided by business rather than professional values. Based on interviews with more than 250 partners in large firms, Mitt Regan and Lisa H. Rohrer suggest that the reality is much more complex. It is true that large firm hiring, promotion, compensation, and termination policies are more influenced by business considerations than ever before and that firms actively recruit profitable partners from other firms to replace those they regard as unproductive. At the same time, law firm partners continue to seek the non-financial rewards of being members of a distinct profession and are sensitive to whether their firms are committed to providing them. Regan and Rohrer argue that modern firms responding effectively to business demands while credibly affirming the importance of non-financial professional values can create strong cultures that enhance their ability to weather the storms of the modern legal market.
