Professor Stephen Mayson, professor of Strategy and Director, Legal Services Institute, College of Law has recently posted a review of Leadership for Law Firms – After the LSA (published by the Law Society). The review makes interesting reading bearing in mind Stephen’s clear views and opinions of the state of the market. For those of you who have not yet bought your copy – maybe now is the time to grab them off the shelf as part of your ‘Start to the New Term’, this Autumn.

Stephen will be giving an outline of ongoing changes in the legal services market including the challenges firms face for the future at the Westminster Policy Forum on Tuesday 6th September. Present will be Members of Parliament (Commons and Lords), major insurance firms, accountants a-plenty, patent attorneys, Heads / CEOs of Chambers, - and of course Partners, (MPs, SPs et al). I will be offering ideas on how and why firms could use external investment and have assistance from non-lawyers, too.
