Law Firm Founder Conversations Podcast: Dr Peter Allinson, CEO of Davitt Jones Bould

In the next of our Law Firm Founder Conversations podcast series, Our Managing Partner Clare Murray discusses all things law firm founder with Dr Peter Allinson, CEO of specialist national Real Estate law firm Davitt Jones Bould. Launched in 2000, the firm was an early disrupter of the traditional approach to law firm operations; from the start, adopting remote working, based around regional hubs, to drive the growth of the firm and to attract the best specialist Real Estate talent; lifting the burden of administration, billing and even marketing and sales from lawyers who wanted to focus on their technical specialism rather than law firm operations and BD; and building an institutional specialist brand and client relationships, moving away from over-reliance on individual partner brands and practices. In this podcast, Dr Peter Allinson and Clare Murray discuss a wide range of law firm founder issues, challenges and opportunities including: What can industry teach us to reshape the traditional law firm model for the better? What does it take for founder firms to compete with Big Law? The benefits of freeing lawyers to do what they do best – and creating a twin track that equally values and rewards technical and operational expertise How to build a technical sales team to sell legal services The 3 key requirements for a founder firm (or any firm) considering an IPO*: Develop visibility & predictability Make sure the Market is there Eliminate any single point of failure Building and financing growth to a level that aligns with personal values, risk threshold and ability to sleep at night! * First Round Review: Shooting for an IPO?
