Consultores em Gestão de Sociedades de Advogados

Since 2009 I have run annual law firm management seminars in Lisboa – normally in April or May, or in the autumn.

In recent years these have focused on:

financial management
new partners
business development and marketing
people management skills and leadership
Lexcel

The seminars can also be run in house.

Comments by delegates:

“Numa altura de novos desafios, foi muito útil a partilha de experiências e in put da necessidade de um Business Plan”

“Estas acções de formação revelam utilidade na análise comparativa nacional e internacional das opções que diariamente tomamos, e suas repercussões na vida das nossas sociedades.”

Our seminars:

are held at the Hotel Marquês de Pombal on Avenida da Liberdade
numbers are limited to a maximum of 15 on each seminar and are often under 6
are designed for partners, other advogados, team leaders, practice managers
encourage group discussion – they provide an excellent opportunity for exchange of ideas amongst delegates
all seminars are in English

I have provided in house management skills training and consultancy for several firms – one of the leading firms in Portugal and smaller commercial firms. All were based in Lisboa. Our consultancy and training has focused on:

business development skills and marketing for advogados
developing strategy and a shared vision
a review of management and leadership
developments in the UK legal sector that might be replicated in Portugal
an understanding of UK management techniques that might be appropriate for Portuguese firms
financial analysis, especially departmental profitability
the development of niche areas of work

In many respects firms in Portugal face the same pressures as those in the UK and Ireland – pressure on fees, a squeeze on margins, and the difficilty managing and leading a law firm..
