An amalgamation of two local law firms with different ambitions: one looking for continuance and survival, the other looking to grow. The merger created a team of 5 partners and around 40 staff, working from 3 offices: one profitable, one loss making and the other stagnant. Overall, the firm was undercapitalised, had high levels of lock up, low profitability and under-performing staff.
