Why
Its not the silly kit Its because:
1. Teamwork is central;2. Having just one good player will not make a
law firm (or any other business) or a football club;
3. The lessons of sport apply to business;4. Legal business are like any other businesses.

Why this interests me
Career in commerce prior to being a lawyer;
Board level experience Own business (DJ’ing and pub/club
promoting) prior to retraining as a solicitor
I see businesses every day who have a great player or product who do not put the team around it (or him/her) and we end up problem solving or crisis managing (which costs more).

None Solicitor “Advisors”
50 % of the damage we see to business stems from none solicitors advising;
“That guy at the end of the bar”; The “one stop” solution consultant; Human resources dressed up as employment law
advice. So concerned were the Government 2006 they made this a criminal offence under the Compensation Act 2006 in respect of individuals – businesses were thought to be able to tell the difference between people management advice and legal advice ( its not working and the Legal Services Board are conducting a review)

No Legal Advice
The other 40% of damage is from those who take no advice at all and try and handle it all themselves;
Typical examples include drafting their own (or worse copying a competitors) terms of business; not having commercial contracts; having no employment documents and not having people management guidance or training for managers)

The Leagues
Small football clubs buy the players and coaching staff to compete in their league;
Premiership clubs buy differently – more expensive, more skilful, more experienced;
Similar options exist in law – we offer vastly different packages for different businesses;
As business specialists we tailor the needs to the team – we are the part time defensive coach. We not the manager and he hires us to prevent problems and to solve them.
