Kaufman Rossin’s Post

Ray Koenig and MacKenzie Hyde have worked together for nearly two decades while leading the growth of our Chicago office and our Trust and Estates Controversy practice. In this month's Simply Smarter Q&A feature, they talk about that growth, changes in their practice, and Ray's experience as president of The Chicago Bar Association over the past year.

𝐁𝐢𝐠𝐋𝐚𝐰 𝐀𝐬𝐬𝐨𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐬 - 𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐈𝐦𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩 𝐭𝐨 𝐘𝐨𝐮? For many #BigLaw firms, partner election season is here, which for a select number of hard working Associates has marked the culmination of years of hard work and sacrifice. Before diving into the numbers, an individual shout-out has to be given to Kirkland & Ellis, who set the bar with a whopping 205 𝒂𝒔𝒔𝒐𝒄𝒊𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒔 𝒆𝒍𝒆𝒗𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒅 𝒕𝒐 𝒑𝒂𝒓𝒕𝒏𝒆𝒓 back in October. This isn't a surprise, as the firm's fast and transparent path to partnership has long been one of its most appealing characteristics. Promotions effective January 1, 2024: 𝐂𝐫𝐚𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐡, 𝐒𝐰𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐞 & 𝐌𝐨𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐋𝐋𝐏 - 4 new partners 𝐋𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐦 & 𝐖𝐚𝐭𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐬 - 34 new partners 𝐒𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐬𝐨𝐧 𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐫 & 𝐁𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐥𝐞𝐭𝐭 𝐋𝐋𝐏 - 32 new partners 𝐆𝐢𝐛𝐬𝐨𝐧 𝐃𝐮𝐧𝐧 - 35 new partners 𝐖𝐞𝐢𝐥, 𝐆𝐨𝐭𝐬𝐡𝐚𝐥 & 𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐬 𝐋𝐋𝐏 - 16 new partners 𝐂𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝐆𝐨𝐭𝐭𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐛 𝐒𝐭𝐞𝐞𝐧 & 𝐇𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐭𝐨𝐧 𝐋𝐋𝐏 - 24 new partners 𝐂𝐨𝐨𝐥𝐞𝐲 𝐋𝐋𝐏 - 21 new partners 𝐖𝐡𝐢𝐭𝐞 & 𝐂𝐚𝐬𝐞 𝐋𝐋𝐏 - 42 new partners 𝐏𝐚𝐮𝐥, 𝐖𝐞𝐢𝐬𝐬, 𝐑𝐢𝐟𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐝, 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐨𝐧 & 𝐆𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐨𝐧 𝐋𝐋𝐏 - 12 new partners 𝐒𝐤𝐚𝐝𝐝𝐞𝐧, 𝐀𝐫𝐩𝐬, 𝐒𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐞, 𝐌𝐞𝐚𝐠𝐡𝐞𝐫 & 𝐅𝐥𝐨𝐦 𝐋𝐋𝐏 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐀𝐟𝐟𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐬 - 24 new partners (made effective in April) 𝐅𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐡𝐟𝐢𝐞𝐥𝐝𝐬 𝐁𝐫𝐮𝐜𝐤𝐡𝐚𝐮𝐬 𝐃𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐫 - 30 new partners (made effective in May) 𝐃𝐞𝐛𝐞𝐯𝐨𝐢𝐬𝐞 & 𝐏𝐥𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐭𝐨𝐧 - 7 new partners (made effective in July) 𝐃𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐬 𝐏𝐨𝐥𝐤 & 𝐖𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐰𝐞𝐥𝐥 𝐋𝐋𝐏 - 13 new partners (made effective in August) These new #partner classes are always interesting to track because if you weren't aware, not all partner-tracks are created equal. For some of these newly-elected partners, the announcements came as no surprise, because like Kirkland their firms have very transparent promotion schedules. For others, it was the result of a combination of opportunity and years of outworking their peers. So if you are an associate--even a very junior one--and partnership is an option you'd like to have down the road, these are things you need to start considering.

💡 𝐌𝐲 𝐁𝐃 𝐖𝐞𝐞𝐤 𝟎𝟎𝟒 💡 We had a busy week in chambers at Serle Court last week with events, and we have several key seminars and conferences scheduled to take place in the next 6 weeks. There’s so much planning and preparation involved to perfect the events that we run in-house, and our BD plan is integral to marketing our #brand, and practice areas. From the initial stages of compiling a comprehensive BD plan, budgeting, scheduling, targeting clients, #marketing, to the follow-up and feedback, and #ROI - there’s so much to consider. These events give our barristers the opportunity to form new connections and reconnect with existing clients, showcase their expertise and areas of specialism, and collaborate and drive new issues in our sector, #chancerycommercial #law. The types of events we run are so varied; client parties and socials, short seminar briefings, half-day conferences, and our signature International Trusts & Commercial Litigation Conference in New York. Our BD Team [Shana Garioch and April Fisher] together with our Practice Management Team spend months planning, sourcing venues, preparing client lists and preparing marketing campaigns. The final result is this exciting agenda of events that we have planned between now and the end of the year: 📢 28 September: Serle Speak Live: an audience with our Insolvency barristers, at The Law Society from 1.15pm https://lnkd.in/eh6Ktbzv 📢 12 October: Property in Practice workshop 002: They think it’s all over…but is it? Issues between exchange and completion, at Serle Court from 8.30am https://lnkd.in/dwtxQZ75 🗽 6 November: Serle Court 6th International Trusts and Commercial Litigation Conference 2023, New York 🧑🎓 21 November: Prospective pupillage evening 📢 23 November: Property in Practice workshop 003: Developments in Knotweed   https://lnkd.in/es4SM9Dx 📷 Photo credit: throwbacks to our client parties at the London Transport Museum and Tower of London. The latter is by the wonderful Gavin Sawyer!   What’s your favourite London venue? #mybdweek #throwback #cliententertaining #events #businessdevelopment #chanceryandcommercial #serlecourt #BDteam #serlecourtmarketing
