Managing partners in many of the more financially successful, progressively managed firms have planned or are in the process of planning partner retreats to develop their firms’ professional and economic objectives for 2013, and to outline strategies for achieving those goals.
Partners in many firms retain consultants to plan and facilitate retreats that are specially designed to assess partners’ perceptions about how well the combination of their firm’s leadership and governance, policy determination and implementation, cultures, strategic planning process, partner compensation system and client base, brings out the energies and talents of their attorneys. Other issues of significant importance are discussed concerning the future of the firm and then, together with partners, develop recommendations about how to deal with these issues.
