Introduction to the partnership

Here is an opportunity for new Partners to understand just what you need to consider so that you have a successful career in your firm. From all the comments and experiences from other partners I suggest you focus on:

• Clarity around your role and key responsibilities and how these are measured – and valued (whether rewarded directly or not);
• Consider how you will use your contacts to grow not just your practice – but the wider firm (far too many partners are too selfish in their BD view);
• Setting aside enough for you to have a decent pension fund – whether that is a portfolio of properties, other assets – or a straightforward fund. Don’t get caught out as some of those partners in their mid-fifties and on who are going to have to keep working to plug that gap
• Consider how to manage your career so that you remain an asset to the firm – and it to you!

So why not attend Smith & Williamson’s excellent programme.

Maybe see you there!

PS we are running short introductory programmes for Partners about taking on NED and Not for Profit responsibilities: challenge yourself and come along.
