CEO/COO roles for partnerships
In this time of pronounced change for the legal sector - commercial, attitudinal, structural - firms are looking, more than ever, to the expertise of a strong CEO/COO to navigate them through a dynamic and evolving industry landscape. It’s a critical role, and one that can make or break the success of a firm as it develops commercially in a new marketplace.
A CEO/COO in a modern law firm must bring, at a top level, the strategic expertise and management skills a traditional partnership may lack. They must drive through the change and momentum needed to thrive in a newly competitive and increasingly global market. They must have the skill and high-level experience to embed themselves strategically within the culture of the firm; to build strong relationships; assess points of strength and weakness, and, critically, respond swiftly to changing regulations, shifting economic factors and emerging markets. With the right individual at the helm, a firm can not only survive in this challenging economic environment - they can thrive.
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.
