and with the full support of its chairman, bruce mclean, akin gump has so finely tuned the team concept that as of this writing, it now serves clients with more than 65 highly skilled, powerfully effective teams.<\/p>\n<p>a lawyer with a strong practice background, jones was brought in to akin gump in 2003 to establish the team concept. what she has done most brilliantly is inculcate the concept within the highest echelons of akin gump\u2019s management, and then develop a system to build the teams effectively on almost a production line basis, without losing the individual identity and value of each team (or its members) in working with the distinctive needs and opportunities of each individual client. a truly remarkable feat.<\/p>\n<p>she is repeating the feat now at chadbourne &amp; parke, where she heads the firm\u2019s marketing operation.<\/p>\n<p>that jones is so successful is no surprise, considering her background. with a j.d. from the thurgood marshall school of law, texas southern university, she has served as an assistant attorney general of texas, and as director of the city of austin\u2019s legal department, supervising 50 in-house attorneys. she has been in private practice in two prominent austin law firms, and has served as an instructor and trainer in many aspects of legal practice. to this background, which affords her a full understanding of the law firm and the client relationship intricacies, she brings an extraordinary organizational skill. if, as has often been said, managing lawyers is like herding cats, she has mastered the art of herding cats.<\/p>\n<p>the team concept begins, she says, with helping a firm\u2019s senior managers understand the concept and values of a comprehensive client satisfaction program. this goes beyond simply supplying legal service on demand. it requires a willingness to understand and penetrate the client\u2019s business and business and legal needs. it requires that present and future team members understand the need to cooperate on a very high level without giving up individual status or initiative. with management backing, some 70% of the firm\u2019s partners attended courses run by the william j. flannery training firm of austin, texas, which emphasizes working in teams. the courses are not just motivational cheer leading, but rather intensive training in the skills of cooperation and collaboration. presentations about the client service teams were presented at partner retreats, which further built enthusiasm for the program.<\/p>\n<p>a second necessary element is a good client relationship management or knowledge management system that tracks information about clients, appropriate aspects of law, firm activity in behalf of the client, and measures firm performance. it serves, as well, to track team activities and performance.<\/p>\n<p>a third necessary element is a good strategic plan for the firm, which will ultimately shape the strategic plan for each team in serving the team\u2019s client. the strategic plan is inherent in the success of a client service team structure. \u201cthe traditional approach to strategic planning involved long and protracted processes, requiring a series of meeting with individuals possessing varied self-interests, personal agendas, and a lack of focus or direction,\u201d says jones. the results of such planning approaches, she says, were plans that participants didn\u2019t support, nor from which they got clear direction. the result was that plans supposed to cover the following three to five years became obsolete well before that.<\/p>\n<p>the traditional idea that high quality and high value services are enough to be successful in a competitive global market is a myth, jones suggests. a sound and realistic strategic plan, she says, is a foundation for superior performance, she says, and high quality alone is not enough. \u201cexceptional performance and client service of the highest quality are essential elements in expanding relationships with current clients and are the critical ingredients in capturing new and loyal business relationships,\u201d she points out, \u201cbut functions best only within the context of a strategic plan.\u201d and it is this exceptional performance that the team is capable of consistently delivering.<\/p>\n<p>the contemporary strategic plan, she says is a function of defining the market, defining the firm in terms of its ability to serve the market, and developing a strategy to help the firm meet the needs of the market. but it\u2019s the clientele, not the firm, that\u2019s primary in a sound strategic plan.<\/p>\n<p>it should be noted here that the client service team is more than a group of partners gathered together to descend on clients. the team is a complex organism, trained to function as a team, in the firm\u2019s service to the client. it functions with a strategic plan that\u2019s predicated on the firm\u2019s own strategic plan. its members are chosen specifically by the needs and opportunities of the team\u2019s client, are well-trained in the process, well-indoctrinated in the client and the client\u2019s business, and assiduously monitored. thus, the need for intensive commitment to the process. and the need, as well, for a culture of collaboration. collaboration and teamwork, she notes, are not learned in kaw school. and while every firm may have its stars, the well run team doesn\u2019t submerge the star\u2019s talent, but rather, magnifies it .<\/p>\n<p>\u201cthe first step in the process of collaboration,\u201d says jones, \u201cis that the firm or business entity must define its place in the market for the services it provides. the core practices or products must be must be defined and designated first and foremost in order to clarify for the internal team the firm\u2019s priority, and the client\u2019s expectation from a team of talented professionals.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>forming a team begins with a basic understanding of the client\u2019s business and needs. this is a foundation for selecting the disciplines from which the team will be assembled. members of the team may well include lawyers from several offices, which not only assures the most appropriate team for the client, but serves the firm\u2019s practice offices by offering the firm\u2019s full range of services regardless of the offices or the client\u2019s location. \u201cthe most successful team,\u201d says jones, \u201cselect the members who have the talent to match the needs and challenges of the client.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>many law firms, jones notes, are not yet willing to address attorney performance issues that arise from time to time while serving the needs of a client. \u201cit\u2019s sometimes awkward and often difficult to confront relationship managers or the service providers of a client when the performance, communication or service delivery is not consistent with client expectations,\u201d she says. \u201chowever, it\u2019s an essential step to identify and address the failure of a team or an individual team member in order to quickly respond and remedy the problem.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>given an understanding of the client\u2019s needs and problems, the team is then formed by selecting the several lawyers best able to meet those needs. a client service team member is selected based on what the member\u2019s skill and experience can bring to the team to add value to the benefit of the client first and foremost. as new opportunities for client service are identified, the team may be expanded with appropriate lawyers.<\/p>\n<p>a client service team leader is appointed for each team by senior management and is responsible for:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>serving as the relationship manager who is responsible for knowing the client needs and desires<\/li>\n<li>communicating vision and direction to the team<\/li>\n<li>coaching team members<\/li>\n<li>scheduling team meetings and reviewing team\u2019s progress<\/li>\n<li>evaluating team members and providing feedback on performance and service<\/li>\n<li>rewarding and recognizing team member contributions and successes<\/li>\n<li>coordinating firm resources, lawyers and support staff<\/li>\n<li>identifying best talent to work on specific client projects<\/li>\n<li>building commitment, confidence and consensus<\/li>\n<li>taking leadership role in action planning<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>in addition to bringing their skills and experience to the team, client service team members are responsible for:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>learning and understanding the clients business<\/li>\n<li>understanding the firm\u2019s capabilities<\/li>\n<li>identifying problems and opportunities<\/li>\n<li>coordinating and sharing client information<\/li>\n<li>developing and sharing ideas for new services<\/li>\n<li>attending and fully participating in team meetings<\/li>\n<li>taking ownership of the action plan<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>in serving the client\u2019s needs, the team establishes a successful business partnership with the client. inevitably, this results in adding value and benefits to the client. this coordinated approach improves communications, allows for consistent advice, and helps build a long-term relationship that serves to achieve the client\u2019s global business objectives. the teams objectives are met through the team\u2019s strategic plan, in which each team member has a defined role and responsibility.<\/p>\n<p>by frequently discussing the client\u2019s expectations, the team is better able to understand the scope of the work, including staffing expectations, budgetary forecasts, and the necessary level and frequency of communications of information regarding the project.<\/p>\n<p>a significant part of the team process is to keep abreast of the client\u2019s satisfaction with the firm\u2019s service. this is essential to client retention, as well as to keeping the team\u2019s strategic plan on course.<\/p>\n<p>the questions to be asked, either in ongoing discussions or by formal survey, are:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>how are we doing in providing legal or other services?<\/li>\n<li>are we communicating with you according to your preference?<\/li>\n<li>are we keeping you well informed?<\/li>\n<li>are there any concerns about the team leader or the team members serving you?<\/li>\n<li>now that we have met your expectations, what can we do to exceed them?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>accountability, an integral factor in the team concept, is important for monitoring and measuring the successful accomplishments of the team, as well as for tracking the responsibility of individuals to the team. team leader accountability reports, team member evaluations of the leader, and team leader evaluations of team members are among the tools the firm uses to monitor team performance and client satisfaction.<\/p>\n<p>ultimately, the goal of the client service team process is to apply a systematic approach to all significant clients so that the opportunities to serve their needs are maximized. the success of the client service team initiative is its ability to build high-quality, enduring relationships through teamwork and a commitment to using the firm\u2019s best resources. \u201cdedication to client satisfaction requires the rigorous and unrelenting pursuit of the core values of excellence, commitment and intensity,\u201d jones says. \u201cto build a preeminent client base, one must concentrate on excellence and value. the pursuit of consistent quality must be unyielding.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>that akins gump has been able to sustain a high level of performance for 65 teams is a function of jones\u2019 organizational skills. computerized performance tracking, bi-weekly strategy meetings, standardized report forms and spread sheets form a knowledge management system that not only tracks performance, but spots both trouble spots and team opportunities.<\/p>\n<p>with all the advantages to the firm from client services teams, the greatest beneficiary is the client. for the client, the program means more efficient service at lower overall cost, access to vast resources that might otherwise be difficult to draw from the firm, rapid response and better crisis management, and budget certainty.<\/p>\n<p>for the firm it has meant improved client relations, high value and interesting work, and all of the advantages of the trusted advisor relationship. significantly, it has also meant higher annual fees than ever before \u2013 from an average of $5.3 million from 1993 to 2001, increasing to an average $7.0 million from 2002-2004.<\/p>\n<p>and where once attorneys were reluctant to collaborate with one another, the akins gump team members are more than enthusiastic. says one partner in dallas, \u201cfrom simply communicating new developments to coordinating approaches on new opportunities, the client service team has been invaluable to maintaining our relationship in an increasingly competitive environment.\u201d says a washington, d.c. based partner, \u201cthe client service team approach has netted the firm energy, work, and litigation opportunities that we have not had in the past, and was an important factor in the firm\u2019s selection to be one of deutsche bank\u2019s eight preferred providers.\u201d and more of the same, from all of the partners functioning as part of client service teams.<\/p>\n<p>the client service team is a 21<sup>st<\/sup> century answer to the dramatic changes in the professions and the clients they serve. it\u2019s a new structure for law firms \u2013 and accounting firms as well \u2013 to meet the client needs of the future in an era of elevated competition. it is a structure that enhances sensitivity to client needs, that allows firms and clients to become real partners, and that more than anything, offers real competitive advantage.<\/p>\n<p>the well run team program is not a simple nor a casual concept. it requires the commitment of the partnership, and recognizing that new times call for new structures and views of professional practice. it demands the enthusiastic support of the firm\u2019s management team, a clearly developed and dedicated program, and the organizational skills of a client service coordinator who fully understands the client relationship process. it can be a complex program, and certainly, it must be done recognizing that it requires departure from traditional professional practice.<\/p>\n<p>but when it works, it\u2019s worth its weight in successful and profitable client relations.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_14625\" class=\"thumbnail wp-caption alignright\" style=\"width: 72px\"><a
