Avant Law, Australia’s Post

Law firms should ONLY be in a country/city/market where ALL of the following are true: * The firm understands the risks of operating in this location, has the resources to effectively manage them, and has a specific plan in place as to how they will be managed; * Clients that the firm values and wants to retain need an on-the-ground presence in that location; * Operating in this market is key to the firm's strategic planning and profitability goals; * The firm can conduct business ethically and consistently with its values in that location; and * It is both feasible and safe for attorneys and their families to work and live there successfully. If you're an individual lawyer or business professional looking at moving to a new market - either within your home country or elsewhere -- you also MUST ask yourself if this office meets all the above criteria. Think about: Can you build a successful practice with the clients you need in this location? Will you have the support you need to manage your work and the risks in the market? How will what you are doing add value that the firm considers desirable? Will you feel protected and secure in that place? Firms owe it to their lawyers and business professionals to ask these questions, and individuals owe it to themselves to make sure they know the answers to them. #biglaw #globallawyer #globallegalmarket #global100 #expatjobs #expatwork #overseaswork #lawfirmmanagement #riskmanagement

As legal professionals, we know that helping clients secure their future is not just about providing a service – it’s about safeguarding their peace of mind. Yet, many clients remain unaware of how crucial it is to set up a Power of Attorney (POA) until it’s too late. When clients find themselves unable to manage their affairs due to illness or accident, their families are often left navigating a complex, time-consuming, and costly application to the Court of Protection just to make essential decisions on their behalf. By becoming a Lifetime Lawyer, you gain access to exclusive resources, training, and industry insights to help you guide clients in establishing Lasting Powers of Attorney that reflect their wishes regarding finances, property, and medical care. Our membership ensures you stay at the forefront of developments in estate planning and older client law, equipping you to provide the highest standard of support. Take your practice to the next level. Discover the benefits of membership here: https://lnkd.in/eC5J3EQt

Did you know Leverets is a uniquely combined solicitor and barrister practice? Outmanoeuvring our larger peers, we hold our own by removing restrictions on where and how barristers and solicitors can practice. Challenging the traditional expensive and inefficient approach of the client instructing a solicitor, who then instructs a barrister - Leverets has combined these practices into a single entity. What does this mean for our clients? • Our powerful strategy and advocacy combination means no duplicated fees or multiple instructions.  • Cases are handled by the same blended team from start to finish - solicitors more involved in every aspect of the case, and barristers integrated in day-to-day case management. • By turning the expensive and inefficient traditional approach on its head, we generate savings that can be passed on in terms of reduced hourly rates. • Our approach is attracting talented lawyers away from the big firms, meaning we are a small, nimble practice more than capable of operating on a level playing field with even our largest competitors. We’re trailblazing a new era of legal service excellence. Want to explore how our differentiated approach and deliver superior outcomes for your business? Get in touch.

Attention Ontario lawyers! A significant change is on the horizon. As of January 1, 2025, the Law Society of Ontario requires all private practice lawyers to have a robust client contingency plan in place. This new mandate, as discussed in the latest Ontario Bar Association’s program, is designed to protect the public by ensuring clients are not left without representation if their lawyer can no longer practice. Don’t wait until the audits begin in 2026 to prepare. Our latest blog explores the importance of these changes and offers resources and advice on how to develop an effective contingency plan. https://ow.ly/cLha50TzFlB #LegalInsights #HullonEstates #ContingencyPlanning
