Testimonials

"Applying the techniques from this programme has already enabled me to transform my practice. Six months ago we were making people redundant. Today we are managing a constant pipeline of new work – on one day this week alone we gained five new jobs. I only wish I had been taught this fifteen years ago!”

Chris Davies – Commercial Property Partner
John Collins & Partners LLP, 20 Partners - Swansea

“I am staggered by the accuracy with which you have been able to understand what makes our firm ‘tick’ in such a short period of time. I am confident that this will help us to remain a highly profitable law firm as we continue to go from strength to strength.”

Jonathan Davies – Partner
Fruhman Davies Livingstone – 5 Partners, Manchester

“You continue to exceed my expectations! The value that you have brought to the firm has been immeasurable in helping all partners to become more financially aware, so that we can move forward together. I have personally found your counsel, support and occasional cajoling to be a great help, especially in navigating issues where the Managing Partner can sometimes be left exposed. I would recommend you to any Managing Partner who wants to move their firm forward in an increasingly uncertain legal market.”

Jon Andrews - Joint Managing Partner
Rowlands Solicitors LLP, 19 Partners - Manchester

“The thoroughness and transparency of your approach, even when faced with complex issues, is a great comfort to me as managing partner both in understanding your recommendations and enabling me to convince our partners of their validity . . . Your advice is always appreciated. I am therefore happy to recommend you to any practice which seriously wishes to tackle its cost base.”

John Seigal – Managing Partner
Clintons Solicitors, 18 Partners – Covent Garden

“We have entered a bigger league and your analysis has clearly distinguished those issues which are important and urgent, from the trivial. Your action template will act as my checklist for a considerable time to come."

"Your course, Improving the Profitability of your Law Firm, at the Warwickshire Law Society was the first time that I have seen you confront the complete law firm financial pipeline, from increasing sales through to improving billing and collections. The course strengthened further my confidence in the depth and breadth of your experience, and underlined your expertise with regard to a range of issues."

Peter Jones – Managing Partner
Smith Jones Solicitors (formerly Farnworths), 5 Partners – Burnley

“From the first smaller projects over 5 years ago, through to the very sophisticated Bradford & Bingley Car Ownership Scheme more recently, we have become comfortable that our initial expectations would always be exceeded. This has at different times meant greater cost reductions, enhanced supplier relationships or when closing facilities, an earlier a disposal. You never seem to lose focus on results!!”

Sandy Duncan - Director of Group Purchasing
Bradford & Bingley

“I am extremely impressed with the work you have carried out so far. Although you came to me highly recommended by another Solicitor, I am amazed at how, in such a short space of time, you have managed to gain a clear picture of the firm and the issues facing it in the future.”

Nick Button – Managing Partner
Button & Co Solicitors, 3 Partners – Coventry

“Wilkinson Read & Partners and Gibbens Waterfield have helped my practice generate a saving of over £30,000”

Mike Franklin - Managing Partner
Franklins Solicitors, 8 Partners - Northants

"I have worked with a number of consultants in my time at John Collins & Partners, and I would like to say that you are not only the most professional that I have worked with, but that you also continue to deliver results that help to keep the firm developing and setting the standards in our area. For a non-lawyer, you have an excellent grasp of the business and partnership issues affecting our firm, and I am keen to ensure that we benefit fully from your support."

Keith Thomas - Head of Clinical Negligence
John Collins & Partners LLP, Commercial Solictors, 20 Partners - Swansea

“Barry has worked with my law firm for over 5 years on a variety of financial and performance based projects and in every case he has committed himself totally and effectively into his work with us achieving commensurate results which have always benefitted us significantly. He is also a great personal mentor to have in one's armoury.”

Steve Penny - Managing Partner
