Shifting client demands and rising expenses. Changing norms and a dearth of top talent. The explosive growth and inescapable impact of AI. You may view the trends rocking the legal industry as an extraordinary opportunity or as a threat that has you obsessively refreshing your retirement calculator. But in the words of Randy Bachman, “You Ain’t Seen Nothing Yet.”
Small and Midmarket Law Firms at a Crossroads
“This is a defning moment for the legal profession. I expect to see more change across the business of law during the next 3 to 5 years than the four previous decades combined,” says legal business advisor Gene Commander, founder of Gene Commander Inc. “For firms looking to shore up their business model, legacy strategies and obsolete business practices will fall short — especially for midsize and smaller firms that lack deep bench strength and deep pockets.”
Playbook for Smart, Sustainable Growth
To help law firm owners move from a reactive position to a growth mindset, Attorney at Work has teamed up with Gene Commander Inc to offer a complimentary e-guide, Smart Growth Strategies for Midmarket and Smaller Law Firms.
Firms that are willing to rethink legacy business practices, invest in human capital, and champion innovation will be positioned to thrive, says Commander. “Our goal for the guide is to help firms capitalize on the extraordinary opportunities that disruption will present.”
The guide distills Commander’s experience as a law firm managing partner and business advisor across small, midmarket and national firms. In it, he offers strategies tailored to firms that do not have Big Law resources but certainly face Big Law pressures.
“Smart growth does not necessarily mean upping lawyer headcount,” he says. “Rather, it entails adopting a suite of strategies that enable the law firm to scale its business model to ensure that revenue growth outpaces the cost of doing business.”
