Synopsis
The ability to attract, develop and retain talent has become one of the biggest competitive issues for law firms. But although talent management is now recognised as a business issue of prime importance, law firms often lack the experience, vision and tools to do it.
This practical handbook, co-ordinated by Rebecca Normand-Hochman, explores the various elements required to manage talent effectively. It illustrates how law firms can significantly increase the performance, engagement and retention of their lawyers by giving them the tools to develop and to support the development of others. It also describes the need to align HR and law firm strategy through talent management, and to adapt leadership and talent management best practices to law firm structures and challenges.
Chapters cover all of the important aspects of strategic talent management and provide practical guidance from law firm talent management experts internationally to help managing partners, talent management managers as well as lawyers seeking to build strong and aligned talent management strategies in their firms to stand and win the competition. This book will also be of interest to lawyers seeking to understand what is required for them to take ownership of their professional development. New & Used

What Reviewers Are Saying
A BUSINESS ISSUE OF PRIME IMPORTANCE
An appreciation by Phillip Taylor MBE and Elizabeth Taylor of Richmond Green Chambers
This new title from Globe Law and Business is destined to become required reading for practitioners or partners in law firms -- particularly international law firms -- looking to succeed in an increasingly complex and fiercely competitive future.
On behalf of the International Bar Association, Consulting Editor Rebecca Normand-Hochman, supported by a high powered team of some seventeen expert contributors, has put together an impressive and insightful volume dealing with all the major aspects of talent management.
‘Talent management’, she says, has come to be considered (certainly by the most advanced law firms) as ‘a driver of competitiveness… unlikely to be a short term trend’.
This the book sets out to prove and does so compellingly and with conviction, supported throughout with reference to a wide range of hard-headed research from highly reputable sources, including the Harvard Business Review and McKinsey & Company, to cite only a couple of examples.
A key theme throughout is motivation, presented as the driving force behind success -- specifically financial success - in the legal profession. ‘The principal challenge for law firms,’ says the editor is ‘not to motivate their lawyers, but to create the conditions for them to maintain this natural drive and motivation, sense of direction and achievement over the years’.
Understandably, the focus here is on international law firms and the productive use of the talents and the talented people therein. By and large, the book places its emphasis on developing the necessary skills and attitudes required to meet the challenges of technological advance, diversity and economic downturn in today’s global business arena.
Encompassing expertise from a range of sources, from Clifford Chance and Eversheds to the Harvard Business School, the book emphasizes a practical rather than a theoretical approach to the variety of issues under scrutiny, from building sustainable client relationships to women lawyers and how to improve gender balance.
The latter of course, is a key aspect of diversity, which as the text asserts ‘is a business imperative and helps to create a competitive advantage’. It works, in other words -- and has been shown to work, which this book sets out to prove convincingly.
If you are a practitioner or partner seeking ways to further your own professional development, together with advancing the growth of your firm, you’d be well advised to acquire this forward thinking and thought provoking book.
