Scottish Legal Sector Breakfast Briefing
Armstrong Watson would like to invite you to the next of our regular series of Breakfast Briefings for the Legal Services Market via Teams.
Although now using technology, as with our previous events, invites are still being restricted to key decision makers within key regional firms with a select group of regular attendees. That way we will still attract high quality nationally recognised speakers to present on law firm management issues.
Developing Succession Planning Strategies - to be competitive
Succession planning involves safeguarding the future wellbeing of a professional firm, but too many firms put their heads in the sand and hope the problem will go away. Instead, as time passes planning for the future becomes even more urgent, with the risk of a firm becoming leaderless and losing its best talent and clients.
In this Breakfast Briefing Peter Scott will address some of these crucial issues which firms now need to face up to if they are to secure their futures, including:
- successfully reconciling the different interests within a firm;
- developing career paths for everyone in a firm;
- how to deal with older partners;
- succession issues for sole practitioners; and
- can acquisition/merger be a solution?
