Law Firms

What keeps Partners awake at night?

Running a team of lawyers is an increasingly difficult business. Client loyalty is wavering for many firms as clients pick the best law firm or the best lawyer for the job rather than stay loyal to one firm. And they expect more and more from law firms. They know, and you know, there are plenty of other good law firms out there. So it is important for your business to be able to attract and retain good clients. Key to doing this is being able to supply a good service at a competitive price.

Having a replacement on board who is professionally competent and experienced enough to understand the roles of both lawyer and client can enhance your firm’s standing with the client. It also provides the opportunity for your team to learn from an extra level of expertise. And you won’t face the awkwardness of deciding what to do with the extra pair of hands when the placement period is over. It could also give you the freedom to focus on management or marketing for a short period or just even out your working time.

And best of all, it is not a cost to a law firm. There are a number of fee arrangements possible ranging through white labelling, standard consultancy, temporary employee. Kevin’s daily rate would easily fit into your cost structure. Kevin is able to work under the umbrella of a limited company which is VAT registered.
