KMS Forums…The Future of the Small-Medium Legal Practice… Beyond Mere Survival…
Large parts of Australia and New Zealand have suffered from a wide variety of setbacks in recent times, and hardly a legal practice has escaped some impact…
Some firms have gone to the wall, some have been forced to merge, and the bulk of the others are limping along with poor cashflows and poor returns for principals…little more than salaries, if that!
It’s easy to overlook that even during Australia’s long run of economic growth over the last twenty years or so, the firms doing really well were so few and far between it’s easy for many principals and managers to assume that the landscape has changed forever, and that there is no future involving the genuine success and prosperity principals in well-operated law firms deserve…
Lots of commentators have theories about the future of small-medium law firms, and are not slow to go into print, but how many of them have actually owned or managed firms successfully in both good times and bad?
How many of the commentators have hauled bogged-down, directionless, firms out of the mire and pointed them on the road to exceptional profitability?
To someone who has, the theories espoused by some commentators are often quite laughable…
The pace of change is faster than ever, and Principals and managers need to get a grip on the fundamentals of how law firms succeed, to be able to manage correctly, and steer the correct course through the very tricky currents that undoubtedly lie ahead…
These timely forums on the future of small-medium legal practices will help you focus on how to position your firm for real success…way beyond mere survival through 2012!
· What will the landscape look like in the foreseeable future for the kinds of legal services you deliver or want to deliver?
· How will you need to market them, and who to?
· How will you need to do your pricing to achieve genuinely good profit margins?
· What will remain as the fundamental traps….”Bermuda Triangles” into which your potential profitability will so easily disappear?
· Things you simply must get right. In managing your practice, perpetuating the mistakes that have created misery for others is simply not the way to go!
