Editor’s letter – March 2020

KAYLI OLSON|EDITOR, LPM|

I hope everyone had a smooth February – I nearly forgot about that extra day we had slip in this year! And if you were able to beat the storm to join us for LPM South, thank you for attending and I hope you stayed around for our LPM Practice Excellence Awards ceremony – winners announced on pp20-21.

Well done to everyone who was shortlisted and congratulations to the winners! Want to get recognised for excellence in legal practice management? Keep an eye out for next year’s awards. And, if you missed out on LPM South, you can still join us at LPM North in Manchester on 24 March. To find out more and book, visit: www.lpmmag.co.uk/event/lpm-north-2020

In the meantime, it’s time to get down to business. What’s cooking in SME law firm financials? Josh Adcock reports (p14).

Worried you might be pushing people too hard? Joanna Kingston-Davies, group chief operating officer at Jackson Lees, talks about how you can be kind and still be a successful leader (p5). And, if you’re wanting some inspiration from outside the legal sector, blast off to another world as I report in from the Westminster Business Forum on space sector challenges and innovation (p30).
