Compensation Design for Law Firms, Paperback / softback Book

Paperback / softback

Description

The legal industry has undergone massive change due to economic conditions, changing client behaviours, and technological advances - to name but a few of the major sources of disruption to traditional legal practices.

Possibly for the first time in several decades, a comprehensive rethinking of how legal work is priced and staffed and how lawyers should be evaluated and compensated is underway amongst US firms.

Partner compensation, as well as proper pricing and budgeting of work, must be brought into line with what delivers the best results for clients - yet firms are often confused when it comes to aligning compensation with firm goals and client expectations.

This report provides expert views from well-known industry experts to answer important questions such as: How a law firm can align a compensation system with strategic goals; How to align profitability and compensation plans; How to align compensation with client priorities; and How different pay for performance schemes can be used.
