Business Outlook

Pros

- Can capitalise on the firm’s branding as largest law firm in the world

Cons

- Poor leadership and pitting staff against each other which resulted in a factionalised work environment - Tactics such as threatening termination of employment were employed - Frequent blame game and gaslighting occured when things go wrong. No one at the top takes accountability. - Poor communication from and micromanaging occurs from top down - The SOPs are a mess and top is not welcome to suggestions for how to shorten processes, insistence to use time consuming and inefficient processes.
