The Perfect Legal Business

What if a law firm's sustained success isn't about billing more and more hours, but shaping its structure, approach, and attitude differently? In The Perfect Legal Business, former Managing Partner and law firm management consultant Simon McCrum unlocks a fresh framework for the modern legal firm, built around a number of key pillars including: intelligent client selection, proactive client care, purposeful senior and middle management, higher pricing for a higher level of service, lawyer inputs (not outputs), and the importance of cash to the business - all brought together into a powerful force by the glue that is leadership. This book invites you to dig deep into law firm management as a constant and fluid problem-solving enterprise - one driven by lawyers at all levels - that seeks to change the fortunes and destinies of law firms, their owners, their people, and their clients. Whether you are part of a small legal firm or a large Top 50 organisation, the themes explored in The Perfect Legal Business arm you with the outlook, examples, and reasoning that lead to smarter decisions and wide-ranging law firm growth. These things work, as has been proven repeatedly in law firms of all sizes with which Simon has worked.
