A one-day intensive conference that will ensure you:
- Model your costs to match forecasts in an unpredictable climate
- Understand the implications of external investment on your plan
- Get more from your bank
- Work harder to engage your practice heads in a difficult climate
- Discover how alternative pricing will impact on your forecasts
- Plan for international expansion, mergers and acquisitions
Translating your firm s strategy into an accurate statement of forecast fee income has never been easy. But in the current market, while uncertainty abounds, and as markets recover, it has become harder than ever. Not only do you not know how quickly the turnover of work will pick up but also your fee-earners may be less willing to put their name to revenue predictions.
This year s conference programme has been completely refreshed to tackle financial planning in the context of change, whether that be economic change and market uncertainty; structural change such as the implications of the Legal Services Act; strategic changes planned by your firm, such as international expansion, mergers, acquisitions, and the adoption of alternative pricing models; or even, a change in the relationship with your bank, and the commercial terms it offers you, and how this, too, can impact on your plan.
Our
senior level speakers will address all of these issues and more, so that you leave this
compact one-day conference with
new insights that will help you to stay on top of providing accurate forecasts and budgets to the firm amid the market and business change that is occurring around you.
Just as important as forecasting revenue accurately is structuring your business model, managing your costs and timing your investments effectively so that these match the workload you anticipate.
In a keynote speech, Keith Wood, Chief Executive at S J Berwin LLP, will explain how you can do this.
Also, don t miss our
special focus sessions on getting more from your bank. You ll have the
opportunity to quiz a financial adviser about the terms you can currently expect as well as the chance to hear from a law firm about the ways in which it has kept its bank on side.
