Join our Law.com Pro Mid-Market leadership and a panel of experts this Thursday, June 27th for our June Webcast: How Should Midsize Firms Approach Their Real Estate Footprint? Register today: https://lnkd.in/gDhbcqVq Law firm real estate: It's one of the biggest line items for any firm, and even in an era where hybrid work is much more prevalent, “the office” has become the centerpiece for how firms express and maintain their culture. For midsize firms, the balance of cost, culture and creative use of space can be a delicate one. Whether it's reviewing existing office space or planning for a new location, how are midsize firms approaching their real estate portfolio? How do (still-evolving) office policies influence this calculus? How do firm leaders balance workforce expectations on flexibility and cutting-edge space? We will offer trends, case studies and industry data to look at ways firms are designing office space, how they are leveraging real estate to attract talent back to the office, how they are approaching expansion–and how much it’s all costing them, in a time of rising expenses and profit prioritization.

Join our Law.com Pro Mid-Market leadership and a panel of experts this Thursday for our April Webcast: How to Tackle the Biggest Challenge For Law Firms: Succession Planning. April 25th | 11:00 AM ET - to register go to: https://lnkd.in/eNw6Yr46 It’s a perennial–and in some cases, existential–challenge that strikes law firms in the midsize segment and beyond: Succession planning. Doing it at all requires dedication and discipline, and doing it effectively is even tougher. Regional surveys of managing partners indicate that a significant portion of law firms lack a formal succession plan in any form, and we hear the same in our many day-to-day discussions with firm leaders and industry consultants. Successfully implementing a succession plan requires time, effort, and change at the cultural and operational levels. Our team and panel of industry experts will examine these issues–and more importantly, delve into how to break down barriers, improve strategies and ultimately implement successful plans for succession. Panelists include: - Ashley R. Lynam, Chair, Montgomery McCracken Walker & Rhoads LLP - David Wood, Principal, David Wood Consulting - Melody Eagan, Managing Partner, Lightfoot, Franklin & White - Pierce Campbell, Chief Executive Officer, Shareholder, Turner Padget Graham & Laney, P.A. - Patrick Fuller, Chief Strategist, Legal, ALM - David Gialanella, Editor-in-Chief, Business of Law and The American Lawyer, ALM

Profits per lawyer (“PPL”)—a firm’s net income divided by its attorney headcount in full-time-equivalents–doesn’t get the most attention. But should that change? “For me, PPL, and especially year-over-year PPL growth, helps mitigate any biases in the numbers influenced by law firm size or geographic location,” Patrick Fuller said.
