Management
As the market for legal services grows and matures, running a law firm feels a lot like entrepreneurship.
Success no longer hinges only on the brain power and the hard work of your lawyers. It also depends on how smoothly you can manage the many moving parts of a complex operation.
Vahura can help you hire and train management professionals who can both navigate and steer your ship.
As non-fee earning functions increasingly become drivers of growth, you—as a partner—are stretched thin straddling the worlds of law and management.
When you look outside for help, you’re faced with generalists who can’t quite grasp the business of law.
Core work is compromised
Partners and senior associates are disgruntled about having to spend disproportionate time on non-billable tasks.
Lack of structure
There’s no method to the madness when it comes to functions like BD, HR, marketing—firm strategy is ad-hoc and unstructured.
Market misconceptions
There’s a misconception that only Tier 1 firms having hundreds of lawyers and mandates need management support.
Missing expertise
Sector-agnostic consultants don’t have a grip on the unique opportunities and challenges of the legal industry.
The time is ripe to hire and train management professionals who can help your firm hit cruise control.
By steering their function and making your fee-earners’ lives easier, they can transform the scale and reach of your operations.
Management professionals can help you unlock growth and wins in several spheres
Client acquisition
BD professionals can help your firm win new and exciting mandates by researching, creating pitch material and keeping connections warm
Process efficiencies
Legal Ops professionals can streamline your processes and put in place systems to ensure that the daily operation is well-oiled
Employee engagement
A proactive HR can ensure that fee-earners are satisfied at work, freeing up time that partners typically spend on man management
Brand and marketing
As firms increasingly compete on value as opposed to price, a dedicated marketing function can tell the firm’s story in a compelling manner
Technology-facing
Law firms are traditionally resistant to tech, but some management professionals have an eye for the truly good stuff that delivers measurable outcomes
