On April 10, our Family Office practice chair R. Scott Beach was a panelist on Botoff Consulting’s Family Governance Compensation Report webcast alongside Dennis Jaffe (BanyanGlobal Family Business Advisors) and Trish Botoff. The group discussed key findings from the report, best practices and trends in family governance, and regional differences in governance structure and practice. #familyoffice #familygovernance #DPFamilyOffice

There's a lot of #biglaw good news stories floating around at the moment. Kirkland & Ellis breaking the $7bn revenue barrier for one, DLA Piper and White & Case LLP both enjoying higher PEP for others. But on the other end of the scale we are seeing some very poor financials from a few firms where profits are down and partner compensation dropping. Draws have been reduced and in some cases no bonuses are being paid, which particularly hurts the salaried partner levels. We are also seeing partner compensation bands being stretched to keep the top rainmakers sweet, but which has a negative impact on the mid ranked partners who are enjoying increased pressure for no financial reward. If you are not one of the partners for whom life is rosy, and you are outperforming your current firm and / or are unhappy with your compensation, let's have a conversation about it. You might find that financially you may not do any better anywhere else but knowing what your market worth is will either make you want to move because the grass really is greener, or pout your head down  be more content to stay knowing you can't do any better elsewhere.

Had the complete pleasure of spending the first day of the week in Bristol before piling up to Aberdeen for a few days to work on strategy development at the start of a new investment cycle... Great fun, and super good team delivering great results already. And a little bit of upside to travelling at unsociable hours is that nobody is there...straight through everything! Next stop Leeds....

📈 It's great to see the legal sector's resilience in a challenging, high-inflation market. While not every firm has achieved such remarkable results, Addleshaw Goddard stands out by reporting an outstanding 18% revenue growth, accompanied by a corresponding 18% rise in total profit. Surpassing their previous year's performance, this showcases how strategic investment and continuous expansion of capabilities can defy the odds in a demanding market.
