Paperback. Condition: New. In the five years since the first edition of this book published, there has been an accelerated rise in the number and influence of COO roles in the legal sphere. No longer the preserve of the largest national and international firms, mid-tier firms and even New Law and alternative legal service providers are considering a COO as a potential - perhaps even essential - component of law firm management, to achieve increased efficiency, productivity, and meet the demands of a highly competitive market.With contributions from a number of current law firm COOs, alongside some of the most respected and sought-after consultants working in this space, this second edition of Rise of the Legal COO examines the scope and variety of the legal COO role, and how the challenges and demands of the position have altered as law firms have evolved. It contains updated chapters from the first edition, and several brand new chapters covering topics such as:How the COO can enable innovation and digital transformation in their firm;The COO's role in managing profitability and client engagement;The use of data in law firm management; andThe New Law COO.There are also all-new, exclusive interviews with legal COOs from a variety of national and international firms, covering topics ranging from the importance of relationships and adapting to the new hybrid, post-COVID world, to encouraging innovation in firms and strategies to recruit and retain talent.There is no doubt that a good COO is an invaluable part of a firm's management team, and the opportunities for talented individuals with broad operational management skills will continue to grow. Heavily backed up by the first-hand experience of the contributors, this title provides essential guidance to the current and future legal COO on the skills and strategies they need to succeed, and to law firms on how to recruit, integrate, and develop a COO who will be a good match for their culture and help them achieve their ambitions.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Patrick Kerwin was born in 1889 in Sarnia, Ontario Canada. He studied law at Osgoode Hall in Toronto, was called to the bar of Ontario in 1911, became King's Counsel in 1928, and became a Justice of the Supreme Court of Ontario in 1932. In 1935, he became a Justice of the Supreme Court of Canada, and in 1954 he became Chief Justice.'In truth the individual is the most important fact in the world in all enlightened systems and it must be the aim of the State to preserve his natural rights while at the same time ensuring that the rights of one do not interfere with those of another.' P.K., Harvard University address, 1955'?a dear devoted friend who was always happy to deputize for me, sometimes at great inconvenience to himself. For many years he has filled with grace and wisdom his exalted office. I shall miss his friendship and help.' Governor-General Georges Vanier, 1963'Mr. Kerwin is well equipped by training and temperament for his new office. He never gets ruffled in court, is always courteous to counsel ?Those who disagree with him will declare without hesitation that Mr. Kerwin is fair-minded, absolutely without bias or prejudice.'

Buch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Chief Justice Kerwin (1889 - 1963) studied law at Osgoode Hall in Toronto, was called to the bar of Ontario in 1911, became King's Counsel in 1928, and became a Justice of the Supreme Court of Ontario in 1932. In 1935, he became a Justice of the Supreme Court of Canada, and in 1954 he became Chief Justice.From the start of his career, Patrick seemed un complicated, pleasant, and ambitious. Success, advancement, distinction and, finally, the highest laurel of the law all came to him. However, there was more to him than that.In his many years in the courts, no one witnessed Patrick act rudely to counsel appearing before him nor was it ever known for him to lose his temper in court. It is wonderful to know that a man who acted with such decorum over the many years is still having his words heard through the judgments provided during his career.Patrick Grandcourt Kerwin's innate sense of fair play and justice permeated his work from the time he practised law in Guelph, to sitting on the bench of the Ontario High Court and Supreme Court of Canada. In his own life, he kept it simple and straightforward. As his daughter noted, 'If you presented him with a good argument, he would weigh the issue on its own merits.'During a speech he gave upon receiving an Honourary Doctorate of Laws at the University of Toronto in 1956, Patrick spoke of the past, the future and the notion of 'goodness'. On that day (Address at the University of Toronto, May 25, 1956 1-2), he stated'Having been born and practised law in Ontario, it is particularly gratifying that such an academic distinction should come to me from this University, situate in the capital of the Province and exercising a profound influence not only in Ontario but throughout Canada. It is a far cry from the early days of this institution and its predecessor, from the days of Upper Canada and muddy York, and from the times of comparatively slow motion in the way of travel. Since then great strides have been taken in all fields of human endeavour and the sons and daughters of this, and other universities have taken a prominent part in the march of progress, not only in practical and mundane things but also in research and in the sphere of ideas and ideals. This in truth is an exemplification of the principle set forth by Newman in his Idea of a University that 'the good is always useful'. Goodness for the individual and, therefore, for all mankind. As Canadians we are concerned with the meaning and effect of that quality, in Ontario, in the other Provinces and in the Territories. Its full force may be felt only if the rights of the individual as a human being be held in high regard and nothing be done, or suffered, to cast him from his pedestal. To put the matter no higher, each one who graduates from this University has a duty to himself, to his parents and relatives and to his professors to see to it that these rights are protected.'The extent of Patrick's experience in the field of law brought to the fore for him this notion of goodness, that the individual was the most important aspect, as well as justice was best served when not delayed. His reputation was that of a fair and hard working man. He had worked long and was not far from retirement age. But Patrick Grandcourt Kerwin was never able to retire and enjoy a time of ease and reflection. He was never able to enjoy the 'evening of life'; a time spent in relaxation, deliberation and relishing his grandchildren's achievements. As well, he was unable to have time to ponder a life well lived and a life of service to the public good.…
