Digital Edge Podcast Featured in Law Practice Tips Blog
February 7, 2017
Digital Edge is a Legal Talk Network podcast hosted by Jim Calloway and Sensei’s Sharon Nelson. Recently, they interviewed David Beech who is the CEO of the professional services firm Knights in the U.K. Jim discusses this podcast and the topics of discussion in a recent post on his Law Practice Tips Blog.
Excerpt: Our Digital Edge podcast this month is “Will Alternative Business Structures in U.K. Law Firms Cross the Pond?” It is instructive to listen to the story of a major U.K. law firm that has become an ABS, both how they undertook this path and why the lawyers are pleased that they did so. David Beech is the CEO of the professional services firm Knights in the U.K. David has led the business, originally a law firm, since 2011. His vision for Knights is to become the leading regional professional services business in the U.K. He was an outstanding podcast guest and this is a very worthwhile podcast.
If you are one of those lawyers who thinks this is a terrible idea, then that is all the more reason to listen to this podcast. You might learn something. Maybe you will learn of some benefits and changes your firm can incorporate without becoming an ABS. After all, it is not like the proponents of these changes want to destroy the legal profession.
