Consultancy

Whilst other legal recruitment companies may provide consultancy advice by outsourcing the service, we have in-house expertise and therefore accept direct instructions. The projects we undertake focus on or include the following:

Financial issues - including the production of cash flow, profit and loss and balance sheet forecasts and work relating to the production or interpretation of other pieces of financial/management information.

Strategic advice - can take a number of different forms. Discrete matters have included advising a law firm on the advantages and disadvantages of employing a non-partner chief executive. More comprehensive assignments have involved interviews with every equity partner in order to discover the precise reasons for the firm’s under-performance, preparing a report and making recommendations to the equity partnership.

Instructions will often flow from a firm’s belief that a merger is the way forward.  After a series of meetings, however, it sometimes becomes clear that a firm needs to address other issues before entertaining, if ever, the prospect of merging.
