Their challenge is to further develop the business model in the face of diverse challenges: Lack of junior staff, generational succession, investment needs, knowledge of personnel management etc. in view of a law firm size that actually requires a different type of management. The dilemmas are manifold. We help these partnerships to distinguish the important from the unimportant and, through joint reflection, to find a consensus on the challenges for the next steps.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2c82603 elementor-widget elementor-widget-ucaddon_uc_icon_accordion\" data-id=\"2c82603\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"ucaddon_uc_icon_accordion.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\n<!-- start Icon Accordion -->\n<style>\/* widget: Icon Accordion *\/\n\n#uc_uc_icon_accordion_elementor_2c82603 *{\n\tbox-sizing: border-box;\n}\n#uc_uc_icon_accordion_elementor_2c82603 .uc_container .uc-heading\n{\n\tcursor:pointer;\n    display:flex;\n    align-items:center;\n    transition:0.3s;\n}\n#uc_uc_icon_accordion_elementor_2c82603 .uc_container .uc-heading span.bbb\n{\n\tdisplay:block;\n\t\n}\n#uc_uc_icon_accordion_elementor_2c82603 .uc_ac_box.uc-item-active span.uc_dactive\n{\n\tdisplay:none;\n}\n#uc_uc_icon_accordion_elementor_2c82603 .uc_ac_box:not(.uc-item-active) span.uc_active\n{\n\tdisplay:none;\n}\n\n#uc_uc_icon_accordion_elementor_2c82603 .ue_icon_holder,\n#uc_uc_icon_accordion_elementor_2c82603 .ue_icon_spacing\n{\n  flex-grow:0;\n  flex-shrink:0; \n}\n#uc_uc_icon_accordion_elementor_2c82603 .uc_content{\n\tdisplay: none;\n}\n#uc_uc_icon_accordion_elementor_2c82603 .ue_icon\n{\n  display:flex;\n  justify-content:center;\n  align-items:center;\n  line-height:1em;\n  transition:0.3s;\n}\n\n#uc_uc_icon_accordion_elementor_2c82603 .ue_icon svg\n{\n  height:1em;\n  width:1em;\n}\n\n#uc_uc_icon_accordion_elementor_2c82603 .ue_expand_inside\n{\n  display:flex;\n  justify-content:center;\n  align-items:center;\n  line-height:1em;\n}\n\n#uc_uc_icon_accordion_elementor_2c82603 .ue_expand_inside svg\n{\n  height:1em;\n  width:1em;\n}\n\n#uc_uc_icon_accordion_elementor_2c82603 .ue_expand,\n#uc_uc_icon_accordion_elementor_2c82603 .ue_expand_spacing\n{\n  flex-grow:0;\n  flex-shrink:0;\n}\n\n#uc_uc_icon_accordion_elementor_2c82603 .ue_title\n{\n  flex-grow:1;\n}\n\n#uc_uc_icon_accordion_elementor_2c82603 .uc_ac_box:last-child\n{\n  margin-bottom:0px;\n}\n\n#uc_uc_icon_accordion_elementor_2c82603 .uc_ac_box\n{\n  overflow:hidden;\n}\n#uc_uc_icon_accordion_elementor_2c82603_item1 .ue_icon\n{\n  background-color:;\n}\n\n#uc_uc_icon_accordion_elementor_2c82603_item1 .uc-heading\n{\n  background-color:;\n}\n#uc_uc_icon_accordion_elementor_2c82603_item2 .ue_icon\n{\n  background-color:;\n}\n\n#uc_uc_icon_accordion_elementor_2c82603_item2 .uc-heading\n{\n  background-color:;\n}\n#uc_uc_icon_accordion_elementor_2c82603_item3 .ue_icon\n{\n  background-color:;\n}\n\n#uc_uc_icon_accordion_elementor_2c82603_item3 .uc-heading\n{\n  background-color:;\n}\n\n\n<\/style>\n\n<div class=\"uc_material_accordion \" id=\"uc_uc_icon_accordion_elementor_2c82603\" data-name=\"\" data-closeothers=\"true\" >\n    \t<div class=\"uc_container\">\n            \n\n<div id=\"uc_uc_icon_accordion_elementor_2c82603_item1\" class=\"uc_ac_box  elementor-repeater-item-1c6d115\">\n  <div class=\"uc-heading uc_trigger\">\n    \n        <div class=\"ue_icon_holder\">\n      <div class=\"ue_icon\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 512 512\"><path d=\"M64 64c0-17.7-14.3-32-32-32S0 46.3 0 64L0 400c0 44.2 35.8 80 80 80l400 0c17.7 0 32-14.3 32-32s-14.3-32-32-32L80 416c-8.8 0-16-7.2-16-16L64 64zm406.6 86.6c12.5-12.5 12.5-32.8 0-45.3s-32.8-12.5-45.3 0L320 210.7l-57.4-57.4c-12.5-12.5-32.8-12.5-45.3 0l-112 112c-12.5 12.5-12.5 32.8 0 45.3s32.8 12.5 45.3 0L240 221.3l57.4 57.4c12.5 12.5 32.8 12.5 45.3 0l128-128z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"ue_icon_spacing\"><\/div>\n        \n    <div class=\"ue_title\">Benefit<\/div>\n    \n    \n        <div class=\"ue_expand_spacing\"><\/div>\n    <div class=\"ue_expand\">\n      <div class=\"ue_expand_inside\">\n      <span class=\"uc_dactive bbb ue_accordion_icon\" ><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\"><path d=\"M256 80c0-17.7-14.3-32-32-32s-32 14.3-32 32l0 144L48 224c-17.7 0-32 14.3-32 32s14.3 32 32 32l144 0 0 144c0 17.7 14.3 32 32 32s32-14.3 32-32l0-144 144 0c17.7 0 32-14.3 32-32s-14.3-32-32-32l-144 0 0-144z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n      <span class=\"uc_active bbb ue_accordion_icon\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\"><path d=\"M432 256c0 17.7-14.3 32-32 32L48 288c-17.7 0-32-14.3-32-32s14.3-32 32-32l352 0c17.7 0 32 14.3 32 32z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n        \n  <\/div>\n  <!-- end of heading -->\n  \n  \n  <div class=\"uc_content\" >\n          <p>Enabling the partners to manage and develop their own law firm is the greatest benefit, as our clients say.
