Welcome

Welcome back to the wonderful world of LPM. Hope you’ve had a lovely summer – it may be nearing the end but we’re kicking off September with a story of growth.

Welcome back to the wonderful world of LPM. Hope you’ve had a lovely summer – it may be nearing the end but we’re kicking off September with a story of growth.

What does it take to tighten finances and find the funding and right strategy needed to support growth? Josh Adcock raises the curtain on p16.

Another topic taking centre stage this month is diversity – and it’s two-fold. Jem Sandhu reports in from the zebra project: Diversity and inclusion – from tokenism to transformation, by Taylor Vinters (p5). And LPM asks Emma Whiting, co-founder and partner at Torque Law, about her firm’s neurodiversity campaign – aimed at educating people and companies on the importance of employing those with hidden disabilities (p6). You may think you’ve heard all you need to hear around diversity and inclusion but topics like these are still important to talk about, especially for firms looking to grow their practices (*wink, wink, nudge, nudge* p16) – so get involved in the conversation.

Also – drum roll, please – the LPM conferences 2020 are right around the corner!
Feast your eyes on some content from the 2019 roadshow with some words of advice from speaker Bernard Savage at Tenandahalf (p23). And stay tuned for the 2020 agenda and updates after this coffee break.
