Decisions That Matter: Tales of Law Firm Leadership in Moments of Consequence

Decisions That Matter: Tales of Law Firm Leadership in Moments of Consequence

Roger Hayse
4.7/5 ( ratings)
Read Download
The last five decades have seen the business side of the practice of law in North America explode. By the mid-nineteen-nineties a senior partner in one of the Am Law 100 listing of firms could easily earn more than $250,000 a year. Late that decade average annual profits-per-partner hit the million-dollar mark. In 2019 partners in the upper echelons of the Am Law 100 will top $2.5 million.

Along with the enviable profit-per-partner figures has come increasing complexity and competition — marketplace realities seldom addressed in law school. Decisive moments — some predictable, others unforeseeable — present themselves during formation, growth, sustainability, crisis and even closure. Professionals trained in the practice of law are cast in the role of organizational leaders.

Wise management allows law firms to move forward. Bungled decisions can strip away happiness, wealth and reputation.

Decisions That Matter explores the five phases of law firm life — formation, growth, sustainability, crisis and closure — through real-life decisions made by law firm leaders in moments of consequence spanning the last four decades. Through highly readable and intriguing histories and anecdotes of revered, notorious, and sometimes largely unknown law firms, Decisions That Matter provides law firm leaders the decision-making fundamentals essential in today’s disrupted legal services world.

Inasmuch as inexperienced or uncertain leadership can steer a law firm to catastrophe, it is vitally important that unforced errors be avoided, and direct challenges overcome. Yet there are few resources written for law firm leaders that can guide them to the success that they and their colleagues want, expect and deserve. By drawing on years of working with law firms and their leaders, Andy Jillson and Roger Hayse provide an in-depth study about the fundamentals every law firm leader should know.
