Onboarding a new director in a law firm is a
“really significant decision”. Staying true to the vision of your
firm, and remembering what is most important, will help boutique
leaders ensure that bringing new people into the fold is
successful.
On this episode of The Boutique Lawyer Show, host Jerome Doraisamy
speaks with Polaris Lawyers principal and director Meg Caines about
her own vocational journey towards directorship, whether it is
something she had aspired to, the daily duties and responsibilities
for directors of law firms, and what it’s like both personally and
professionally.
Ms Caines also details what a law firm needs to consider in
determining how and when to introduce a new director into the fold,
the boxes to be ticked in getting from A to B, how it can be a
case-by-case process, the need to be flexible in going through the
motions, lessons learnt from previous experiences of bringing on
new directors, and her advice to other boutique firm leaders
considering bringing more directors into the fold.
