Profitability and Law Firm Management
Andrew Otterburn The Law Society / RRP £44.95 ISBN 978 – 1853285981
I expected to find this to be simply an update of the excellent first edition of this work, which itself followed on from earlier offerings from the same author, but was pleasantly surprised to find this to be a major rewrite. Otterburn has taken account of the huge changes facing the profession, and sets those out at the start of a work which is now more of a general management text than an accounts-based work.
Having examined those changes, the work looks at the business planning which will be needed to cope with them. The focus applied is very much that of the people involved, and the planning techniques examined would sit very well with those looking for the “Investors In People” accolade. This follows through into the need for firms to know, publicise, and live up to their particular values, as an essential reality check for their chosen strategies.
