The legal profession is being turned upside down – and this book by Roger Hayse gives sound advice and practical insight that will help law firm leaders gain and keep their bearings.

During the first five years of the 21st century, law firms experienced more change than during the entire 20th century. As the profession moves from a collection of collegial, local small business into the leagues of big business, long-held notions about size and profitability no longer apply.

Consider these facts:
	Both mega-mergers and failures of law firms, once rare, now are almost daily headlines.
	The latest American Lawyer survey shows five law firms with more than $1 billion in reveneus, 11 with more than 1,000 lawyers, and 37 generating $1 million-plus in profits per partner – all unimaginable not long ago.
	The industry's record number of failures the past two years included once-revered names like Brobeck, Phleger & Harrison, Arter & Hadden, Pennie & Edmonds, Altheimer & Grey and Tester, Hurwitz & Thibeault.

Such unprecedented change and the new demands it puts on law firm leadership is the backdrop for Law Firm Strategy, A Leader's Guide to Optimizing Future Performance.

In this book Roger Hayse draws on a quarter-century of experience as a senior law firm executive and consultant to offer clear, easy-to-implement solutions that will transform any at-risk firm into an organization built to thrive in the new millennium. He reveals the four keys to strategic law firm success and provides the roadmap for their implementation.

Roger Hayse has a compelling message: law firm leaders must plan the future today – or risk not having one to plan. His perspective as a veteran law firm leader will help other leaders seize the moment and transform problems into unparalleled opportunities.
