Business Outlook

Pros

Legacy lawyers are mostly high quality, but nearing retirement age. Succession planning lacking and seems too late to salvage.

Cons

Perplexing growth initiative. Too much; too fast. Why? Some are concerned. Spaghetti to the wall strategy. Top management nice, but lacking in intellectual capacity and polish.

Pros

The law firm is trying to grow geographically in the US and that creates opportunities for those in IT and data management.

Cons

Resourcing the needs in response to the growth of the business is an afterthought.
