Details

Often new partners have little or no formal training for the management roles they will be required to fulfil as partners, and no help to cope with the pressures which those added roles can bring.

This practical guide helps new partners manage the potentially difficult transition from employee to employer. Looking at management issues through the perspective of personal career development, it will help new partners to:

analyse the new management roles which they will be expected to fulfil, such as personal management, accounts, managing people, marketing and planning
assess what the firm is offering, how the firm's performance can be measured and what rewards are possible
develop their own personal skills, as well as those of the teams around them
protect themselves through partnership documentation.

This book is essential reading for aspiring and new partners working their way up the career ladder.

Introduction - a new partner's perspective; 1. Management within a professional service firm;2. Business structures; 3. Systematic management; 4. Business development, strategy and planning;5. Marketing techniques; 6. Managing people - the framework; 7. Accounts and finance; 8. Treatment of profits;9. Personal development.

The late Simon Young was an experienced managing partner, with an MBA in Legal Practice Management. In 2001 he was elected to represent the Law Management Section on the Law Society's Council. He left private practice to become head of LawGroup UK, a network of independent law firms, and to undertake private consultancy and training work.

"Gives an overview of a tremendous breadth of management issues ... a well equipped toolbox that will serve lawyers well and perhaps show them where they can best develop their own specialist management skills."
