As Yogi Berra said, “If you don’t know where you’re going you might not get there.” We know where the market is going; so do your clients.
Partner Compensation
Partner compensation is one of the most controversial topics in law firm management. Our vast experience shows that partner compensation affects culture, working relationships among partners, and often sets the "tone" of the firm.
Succession Planning
We, together with the Beatles and Rolling Stones know this subject matter better than you:
“When you still feed me, will you still need me, when I’m 64?”
“What a drag it is getting old.”
