Lawyers
It is said that there are more people now offering their services to the legal profession than there are solicitors with practising certificates. What marks us apart from our competitors is that not only is John Killah still a practising solicitor but over a period of twenty years he has been a successful Managing Partner of two prominent West Country law firms.
We therefore know and truly understand about compliance, professional indemnity, ethics, risk management and codes of conduct. We also understand the worry and financial insecurity that many lawyers are now facing. Most of us just wanted to be lawyers-but that is no longer going to be enough.
We also understand the real crisis that is hitting the profession. The Legal Services Act has been the catalyst that has seen the split in the legal profession accelerate into winners and losers. As a solicitor, there has never been a more urgent time to look at your law practice and where it is going-if indeed it is going anywhere at all.
We specialise in acting for small to medium solicitors’ practices. The advice we offer is anything and everything to do with making a law practice successful and above all profitable. We can help with issues as diverse as exit strategy and leadership to moulding your firm’s reputation into the strong brand that it should be.
The Bar is perhaps even more vulnerable to the new realities of cost and competition. Many counsel appear oblivious to the fast approaching wave. The only Chambers likely to survive the wave will be those that truly understand how the sands of their market are rapidly shifting. We can help barristers and their clerks ensure that they grasp the new opportunities.
Time is running out-but it is not yet too late. Speak to us now. Without charge we will come and visit you lawyer to lawyer and tell you what we can do for you. It is no longer a question of affording help. The real question is can your practice or chambers afford not to listen to the help that is now on offer? If you are interested in a profitable business as well as a rewarding and exciting career as a lawyer-then call us now.
John Killah is a longstanding member of The Law Society’s Law Management Section-a requirement that he believes should be compulsory for all lawyers.
