Advice for lawyers and law firms
We are leading partnership lawyers providing high-level advice to law firms and partners (particularly in partner-exit situations). Most of us have either run law firms or run employment law departments and therefore “we get it.” We help law firms to grow and prosper and to mitigate risk.
Examples of our work are below, and numerous testimonials are available on request.
