LBC wise counsel

"One Prick to Burst a Bubble" Book Review:

“I am ashamed to say that until I received this book to review, I had never heard of Paul Gilbert. He is founder and Chief Executive of LBC Wise Counsel., a specialist management consultancy for lawyers. This, his second volume of articles, is a wonderful advertisement for his business, crammed as it is with sharp, shrewd observations about the state of our profession today, and the challenges we all face. If you believe that the clock will soon turn back to the halcyon days of three years ago, read this and think again. If your practice makes you think that the lawyer is the most important part of the business relationship, read this and reassess. Viewing things from both the perspective of the private practitioner and the in-house lawyer, this slim volume is guaranteed to provide food for thought for all. What makes a great lawyer? How do clients perceive value? Networking – give more, seek less. These and many other topics are covered. Some are reminiscent of Tom Peters in iconoclastic mode – the article entitled ”Whatever you do, please don’t exceed my expectations!” being one such. Well written, easily digestible and always stimulating, this book cannot be recommended too highly.”
