The requirement to manage legal risk no longer necessarily entails the need for a law firm. It also no longer automatically results in a lawyer being consulted. Clients now have a range of options for managing their legal risks.

 

Where does this leave established law firms?

The good news is that, with a range of scaleable options available, now is the time that creative and committed firms of all sizes can become more than the sum of their parts. They can be more than the price paid for the time their people work. They can spread risk by making money in new and different ways at the same time as providing an exceptional service to their clients. Far from being dark and uncertain, these are, in fact, exciting times.

In this session, Katherine Thomas will explore ways in which established firms can realise their potential by deploying newlaw strategies to delight 21st century clients while remaining profitable enterprises. Her approach is practical, specific and example-led. What’s more, her suggestions are low cost! Attendees will leave with an appreciation of implementable ways in which they can adapt their approach to thrive in changing times.

Katherine Thomas
CEO at Free Range Lawyers

Katherine’s 20-year career in the legal sector couldn’t be more perfectly aligned to creating Free Range Lawyers. Having chosen the legal business rather than legal practice path, she held a number of roles at major U.K. firms covering marketing, sales, learning & development and knowledge management. More recently, through her own consulting business run from Australia, she has advised law firms from Canada and the U.K. to New Zealand and a lot in-between on strategy and sales.

Most relevant to Free Range Lawyers is her work in establishing and growing the flexible resourcing service Vario for Pinsent Masons, taking it from an idea to a thriving business in under three years. She remains one of few people with a deep, global insight into flexible resourcing in the law.

Katherine is Teaching Fellow on the Master of Legal Business course provided by The College of Law, Australia. She is a lecturer for the College of Law in Western Australia, a member of the Law Consultancy Network, a panel member for the College of Law Centre for Legal Innovation in Western Australia, a regular contributor to publications such as LegalBusinessWorld and Remaking Law Firms and speaks at events worldwide.
