Pickering Pearce

Law firm billing is broken. The legacy processes, systems and behaviours that the industry continues to accept hinder financial performance, erode client relationships, drag down lawyer satisfaction - and unnecessarily increase waste and operating costs. The Pickering Pearce team is working with clients around the world to modernise and transform this core process - while also shining the spotlight on issues across other upstream processes that too often remain hidden and too hard to address. It is time to do it better. Thanks to Intapp, Aderant, BigHand, Elite Technology, Thirdfort, Lupl, Fulcrum GT, Microsoft, Litera, Celonis, UiPath, Oddr Inc, Salesforce and so many others who are helping us to power real change. #LawFirm #OperatingModels #LegalTech #ManagingPartner #Billing #BASIL #Lawyers

The Pickering Pearce team has recently worked with a leading City law firm as they seek new ways to approach legacy governance structures, practice group leadership and remuneration assessments. With direct input from 30 selected firms across the 2023 UK Top100, the initial research phase was designed to ensure the firm’s current leadership team was aware of the trends across peer firms and had access to the right case studies and references. We were excited to see from our interviews and research that many firms are actively reinventing and refreshing their governance structures - not just the people within the structure, but the structure itself - while also incorporating factors influencing succession planning, diversity, and the sharing of leadership responsibility across the partnership. We love the law and the firms that work within it. #LawFirm #OperatingModel #Law #LegalLeadership #ManagingPartner #TheLawyer #Governance #PracticeGroup

Congratulations to everyone who participated in the #LondonLegalWalk this week - it is always such a heart warming afternoon (and summer evening) full of smiles and laughter. Great to see so many law firms and chambers (of all shapes and sizes) turn out to raise much needed funds for the London Legal Support Trust. Special thanks to the BARBRI Global team for their sponsorship and support. #LegalWalk #LawFirms #London

Our team attended an exclusive invitation-only briefing with the global Aderant leadership team today ahead of Momentum London 2024. The session was an excellent dialogue between the Aderant team and leading industry advisors - with a valuable update on #Stridyn (the company's new AI-driven cloud platform) and also on the wider product portfolio roadmap. Great to see advisors to the smaller, regional firms attending as well. Thanks to the Aderant team for hosting us, and also for the off-piste after events. Peter Gill, Chris Cartrett, Karen Bailey, George Taramai, Doug Matthews, Andy Hoyt, Matt Graywood, Ivan Costello, Justin North, Paul Sambhi, Alex Young, Lindy Muto. #AderantMomentum #LegalTech #ProfessionalServices #PracticeManagement #LawFirms

Our team loves giving back. It has been part of our ethos since we started in the industry almost 20 years ago. We are currently supporting a number of initiatives across a range of areas. One of these is the amazing Box of Tricks theatre company - a team that aims to promote Northern UK playwrights and theatremakers. The team is currently running an urgent appeal to raise over £6000 in just a week - and with the Arts under so much funding pressure, that’s a pretty tall order. Without these funds, the UK will have fewer resources for playwrites and creatives, fewer spaces, fewer development programmes, fewer commissioning opportunities, ultimately fewer plays, and less support for LGBTQ+ writers. The arts are a critical part of a thriving society and economy. Please help where you can - even if you throw the cost of a night out at the theatre their way, your £50 will help. #TheArts #Manchester #Theatre #FundRaising See more details here - https://lnkd.in/eXXFRaF8 Graeme Gregory, Debbie Androlia, Justin North

Some of the the team have been chasing fairies in Dublin this week, and also exploring the links between spoken language, written text and the use of story telling as a means of critical knowledge sharing. We love working in a space that is so tempted by tech, but that relies so heavy on the human. #KnowledgeManagement #LegalKM #KM #PSL #ProfessionalSupportLawyer #KMLawyer ##KnowledgeLawyer #LegalTech

We’re looking forward to spending time with the Aderant global leadership team in London as part of the always inspirational #Momentum European user conference.
