Legal Futures
Is your firm one of the top 50 in the world today? If so, nearly half of you are forecast to have minimal turnover growth over the next 5 years. And those are some of the lucky ones - 40% of you are expected to decline in real revenue terms. So say a panel of recognised experts from a wide range of fields including a former Managing Partner of Clifford Chance. Other panel members include:
- In-house counsel from several major plcs and banks
- Leaders at the forefront of legal IT
- A Branding expert from a world recognised advertising/marketing consultancy
- An Economist
- The Law Society
- An expert on law firm finance
- A Legal education expert
The Legal Futures series was conceived by Gracechurch Consulting in recognition of the lack of timely and authoritative research on the global legal industry. This comprehensive study identifies and examines the critical issues confronting any law firm hoping to compete effectively in an increasingly competitive and demanding marketplace.
The findings provide law firms with a portrait of the global legal industry in 2007 - the size and strategic structure, drivers and trends. They offer firms invaluable insight into the legal market of the future and will enable senior management to move forward in the strategic debate. The study also provides an independent measure to support strategic decision making with empirical evidence.
Legal Futures includes a presentation to your Board of Directors, a facilitated discussion focussing on the implications for your business and a copy of the findings. The results can help you to:
- Develop your plans in the light of a well attested forecast
- Evaluate the impact of market trends in relation to individual firms
- Help communicate future state of the legal market
- Plan training to meet needs created by changes in trends
- Project the future needs in the market
