In this special
episode of The Lawyers Weekly Show, produced in partnership with
Commonwealth Bank, we explore the myriad fiscal considerations for
law firm partners across various stages of their careers and how
best they can look after themselves.
Host Jerome Doraisamy
speaks with Commonwealth Private’s national director of
professional services, Alen Sirol, and Clayton Utz’s former chief
executive partner, Bruce Cooper, about the importance of financial
guidance across the life cycle for law firm partners, why such
considerations are so critical, whether the legal profession does a
good enough job of communicating the need for good fiscal
management and navigating fluctuating market challenges at various
intervals of one’s career.
The trio delve into the
factors for consideration when one is aspiring to the partnership,
becoming a new equity partner, transitioning to a senior partner,
and once one has exited a firm partnership. The group also
discusses the importance of proactivity, practical steps that must
be taken, and broader advice for partners of all stripes.
