With great pleasure, I can today announce that Adam Smith, Esq. has entered
into a strategic alliance with Altman Weil,
Inc., and with London-based Jomati
Consultants LLP to consult with clients on matters related to law firm
strategy and economics.
I have known Ward
Bower of Altman Weil and Tony
Williams of Jomati for some
time and, while we have worked together informally in the past, the goal of
this alliance is to improve what we can offer our clients in terms of depth
and breadth at a time when the international legal marketplace is undergoing
a period of major change.
The resources and history of Altman Weil—going
back to 1970—are well recognized and respected within our profession,
and, together with my presence in New York and Tony’s in London, I would like
to believe we can provide our clients coverage from the two key capitals of
the Anglo legal world.
In announcing the alliance, Ward
said:
"We are very pleased to be working with Bruce. He is a true thought-leader
on issues of strategic importance to the legal profession and increases the
scope and depth of resources we can offer our major law firm clients."
And Tony
added:
"I am delighted to be working with Bruce. He is widely respected
for his thought provoking views on law firm strategy and economics and he brings
extra depth to our offering to major law firms."
Finally, on
a personal note, I must tell you this is most exciting for me and a milestone
in the development of "Adam Smith, Esq."
Update (19 March): The Lawyer has published
coverage,
as has Legal
Week.
