The requirement to manage legal risk no longer necessarily entails the need for a law firm. It also no longer automatically results in a lawyer being consulted. Clients now have a range of options for managing their legal risks.
Where does this leave established law firms?
The good news is that, with a range of scaleable options available, now is the time that creative and committed firms of all sizes can become more than the sum of their parts. They can be more than the price paid for the time their people work. They can spread risk by making money in new and different ways at the same time as providing an exceptional service to their clients. Far from being dark and uncertain, these are, in fact, exciting times.
In this session, Katherine Thomas will explore ways in which established firms can realise their potential by deploying newlaw strategies to delight 21st century clients while remaining profitable enterprises. Her approach is practical, specific and example-led. What’s more, her suggestions are low cost! Attendees will leave with an appreciation of implementable ways in which they can adapt their approach to thrive in changing times.
Creative, collaborative and connected, Katherine’s skills are ideally suited to her role as our Head of Growth and Strategy. Her focus is on helping the firm grow, from sales and business development, to process improvement and generating efficiencies through new technology. Working with the partners, she sets the firm’s business strategy and working with our Managing Partner, she leads its implementation.
Katherine is a recognised expert in the business of law. With over 25 years under her belt, she has worked at international firms in the UK, run her own consultancy in Australia, worked on innovation projects across the globe, undertaken speaking, lecturing and facilitation engagements and contributed to a number of publications on business growth, NewLaw and law firm profitability. She has been named by AsiaLawPortal as ‘One of 30 Women Legal Innovators to Follow’.
