Thought leadership is not about repurposing others’ material but constantly producing our own. This enables us to test new concepts, challenge the status quo and constantly seek to improve upon processes and methods. That’s why publishing relevant, actionable content is vitally important to us. We produce an award-winning pricing blog and provide our subscribers with quality, curated content from around the globe. We are regularly commissioned to produce articles for the profession’s pre-eminent publications including Managing Partner, Global Lawyer, Commonwealth Law Journal, The Times (London) and the Pricing Journal.
“My focus at Managing Partner magazine is to deliver high-quality content which pushes management thinking and best practice forward in law firms. I have worked with Richard Burcher since 2013 to develop thought leadership content on pricing strategies and I look forward to continuing to do so.” - Manju Manglani, Editor, Managing Partner
What are you doing about pricing and profitability in 2020?
The 2019 PwC Law Firms Survey revealed that, “…the finance function’s top three priorities are pricing and profitability, working capital and business analysis/ reporting. These priorities are reflective of the continued high fee income write off levels and widening gaps in year end and average lock up performance. …What will be frustrating for many firms is the inability to flow these improvements through to the high level of fee income write offs”.

Billable Hours Targets & Bonuses: A Greater Misalignment of Interests is Difficult to Conceive
We have written and lectured extensively on previous occasions about law firms misaligned meritocracy structures and the capacity for that misalignment to encourage pricing behaviour that is sub-optimal for both the client and the firm. So, kudos to someone of the standing of Annette Kimmitt, the CEO of Minter Ellison, Australia’s largest law firm, who recently called out the billable hour as a poor measure of "client impact" as a result of which the firm proposes to revisit the way it acts as a "gateway" to bonus payments. (Australian Financial Review).
