The Association of Law Firms Administrators Nigeria (ALAN), the umbrella body for law firm management in Nigeria, at its fifth edition of its Annual Managing Partners Roundtable (MPR) urged Law firms to prioritise scale and institutional growth.
Themed “The Scalable Law Firm: The New Equation for Thriving,” the event, held in Lagos, brought together law firm administrators and managing partners from various law firms across Nigeria.
In her opening remarks, Ms. Modupe Olusoga, President of ALAN, said the MPR was designed not merely as a gathering of law firm administrators, but as a platform to engage with critical issues around law firm management.
She said while the practice of law has traditionally been anchored on legal excellence, law firms that intend to thrive must build beyond legal expertise to embrace excellence in management. She noted that the discussions were designed to help participants assess whether the law firms they were building were structured to scale, thrive and ultimately pass on to the next generation.
