Developing tomorrow’s leaders today

The next 10 years will see many changes, challenges and opportunities in the legal sector and the law firms of tomorrow will demand great leaders, endowed with commercial acumen and business skills. 

Making the transition from an exceptional fee earner to an exceptional leader is not a natural organic process. Leadership is not just about management.

Leadership is about innovation, inspiration and vision.

This is not a time for complacency and you must invest in leadership and management development if you are to have the best chance of success in tomorrow's world.

LawNet is helping its members address these issues with an annual Strategic Leadership and Management masterclass headed up by key industry strategists. The course is designed for both existing and up and coming partners and addresses the key leadership and management issues firms face today including attacking costs, increasing revenue, strategic planning, people development and differentiation in a crowded market place.

According to estimates, less than 20% of the 11,000 law firms in the country have tackled their management and leadership structures and many are being run in exactly the same way as 10 years ago. The partnership model leads to management by committee and vast numbers of firms have ageing partners with no succession planning or exit strategies. More importantly, many have little understanding of the skills required to lead and manage a modern law firm.
