Why law firm mergers fail
Wolf Shark and Co Ltd and Puppydog Kitten & Co LLP are looking to merge although there are certain areas that need to be addressed before this can complete such as name, management, profit sharing, cars, borrowing and profitability.
Howard Hackney (Howard Hackney LLP Chartered Accountants) and Mark Briegal (Bennett Briegal LLP) will assume the roles of Managing Director and Managing Partner of the respective firms and act out a typical scenario that is not uncommon in such negotiations, moderated by our own Andy Poole.
Speaker Profile – Howard Hackney
Howard escaped from Grant Thornton UK LLP in 2008 where he had been a partner for over 25 years to establish his own boutique practice. During his time at Grant Thornton he was head of professional practices for the North West and head of family businesses for the UK.
