Holding Redlich’s Post

Paul Hodkinson: "The last couple of years have been pretty dire for capital markets lawyers in the U.K. ... The U.K. has suffered the worst fall of all. Its number of IPO in 2023 were down 63% on its five-year average, while proceeds were down 93%, according to EY research. Both numbers are bottom of the pile compared to other stuttering markets such as Hong Kong, Mainland China and the U.S. ... What this means for the ranks of capital markets lawyers across London’s legal market seems ominous. Law firms in the U.K. have largely held off job cuts but can they continue this way forever?

Congratulations to all law firms featured in Australasian Lawyer’s Fast Firms of 2023. Of particular note was KERRS with an astounding 299% revenue growth. Interestingly, the growth only required a 75% increase in fee earners.   To achieve this excellent result founder and director Tean Kerr said that “From the outset we invested in digital technology to: - maximise connectivity in the modern workplace - encourage team spirit and collegiality - foster a flexible and supportive environment where employees can shine.”   A resounding example of the impact of implementing a digital strategy that promotes revenue growth at almost four times the rate of the investment in human capital.   #revenuegrowth #digitalstrategy #connectivity #collegiality #teamspirit #flexibility     The Fastest-Growing Law Firms in Australia | Fast Firms 2023 | Australasian Lawyer (thelawyermag.com)

In the evolving landscape of the legal profession, law firms are increasingly embracing the model of non-equity partners. This strategic move aims to enhance operational flexibility and attract top talent. However, as highlighted in a recent Bloomberg Law article (Meghan Tribe), this shift also brings with it a set of management risks that firms must navigate carefully. The article delves into the implications of this trend, exploring how it affects firm dynamics, partner incentives, and overall firm culture. It underscores the importance of robust management strategies to balance the benefits of non-equity partnerships with the potential risks to firm cohesion and financial stability. https://lnkd.in/ep6F6Mh2 #Law #LegalIndustry #LawFirmManagement #NonEquityPartners #BusinessStrategy #LegalTrends #BloombergLaw
