Learning & Development roles for partnerships
Closely aligned with the talent management strategies of HR departments, learning & development in law firms is gradually becoming acknowledged as a critical component in the commercial progress of every law firm as they confront increasing competition, consolidation and globalisation.
While previously a role that has often struggled to gain partner-level attention, learning & development departments are now building a position at the very top table. Ever-more aware of the importance of broad skill development and ongoing support of expertise across the firm, partners, fee-earners and business support are increasingly garnering the benefits of legal, management and commercial skills development.
The firms seeing real impact from a comprehensive L&D programme closely tied with their talent management strategies have strong individuals in place - analysing skills gaps and training requirements; implementing best-practice methods; and designing high-impact courses that deliver significant and lasting change throughout the firm.
At Totum, we understand that there is no room for compromise. We have the expertise, experience and deep-level insight to find the right individual to lead your firm into the new era of legal practice. We work closely with our clients to thoroughly understand their unique firm culture, specific challenges, needs and specialisms - and interpret this into a finely honed specification we can take to market.
We know that nothing about this fiercely independent and highly individualised sector is generic; because of this we work just as intensively with our candidates, sourced from a broad variety of expertise and backgrounds to ensure that, when we recommend an individual to you, they are the right person for the role - not the first to tick the boxes or meet the quotas.
