HR consultancy for law firms

Law firms need HR support for lawyers at different levels, trainees and support staff, with performance often tied to billable hours and partner judgement. HR consulting in this setting covers career progression, appraisal design, workload and wellbeing, and confidential handling of sensitive matters. A consultant should understand professional service hierarchies and the expectations of partners who may be sceptical of formal HR.

In short: Law firms usually need career progression frameworks for associates and support staff and appraisal processes that balance billable hours with quality and development from a hr consultancy provider. Check the questions below before you choose, or describe your need and get one to five free introductions.
