How do you enhance the performance of your practice groups?
A practice management assessment can help you diagnose where your practice groups or matrix structure is working – and not. It highlights what’s working well and where opportunities exist for improvement. Given the high degree of autonomy that most lawyers exhibit, many firms struggle to promote an empowered practice leadership culture. Yet practice management, when done with intention, offers advantages to all.
Assessments provide important information – and information is power. The power to improve profit margins, satisfy clients, and create more satisfying careers for partners, associates and other law firm professionals. Assessments can indicate true north, helping align with the firm’s values and goals.
What You Can Expect
Comprehensive Assessment
Our customized assessment is based on your firm’s needs but often covers crucial elements including partner buy-in, compensation alignment, firm leadership support, role clarity, collaborative culture, and professional support. We evaluate the firm’s current position to create actionable strategies that support the firm’s vision.
Benchmarked Excellence
Drawing from our experience with over 50 percent of AmLaw 200 firms, we can benchmark your firm against the best practices of industry leaders. These benchmarks serve as a reference point to not only keep pace but set a new standard of excellence in practice management.
Tailored Strategies for Success
To achieve tangible results, your firm needs more than assessments and benchmarking. We collaborate with you to develop tailored strategies designed to drive improved practice group or business unit success. These may include, for example, refining roles and responsibilities, identifying compensation alignment opportunities or fostering a culture of greater collaboration. Strategies may vary but they all share the same ultimate goal: to promote a higher level of performance.
