<\/a>10 specific duties.<\/strong><\/p>\n by <\/i>marc rosenberg<\/i><\/a><\/p>\n as firms evolve in size, many things need to change.<\/p>\n more:<\/b> how to specify managing partner duties<\/a> | handling pay during the disability of a partner<\/a> | why voting isn\u2019t such a big deal<\/a> | what\u2019s in a (firm) name?<\/a> | protect your business with a solid partner agreement<\/a> one of the biggest changes over time is how the firm is managed. stage 1: firm startup.<\/strong> the firm is in survival mode and has two, three or four partners. it\u2019s common for the firm to be managed by the partner group as a whole. duties are often split between the partners, one of whom may even have the mp title, but this person\u2019s time is heavily dominated by client duties. this stage could last for as many as 10 years.<\/p>\n when firms are small or newly formed, the firm\u2019s management philosophy is characterized by:<\/p>\n stage 2: management starts to get formalized and the mp job is seen as more important.<\/strong> generally, this stage begins when the firm has five to eight partners. (important: just because something is common doesn\u2019t make it a best practice. visionary firms are well advised to adopt a strong mp position well before reaching five to eight partners.)<\/p>\n most firms at this stage operate primarily with a structure that is limited to an mp empowered to make decisions, an administrator with no client duties and perhaps a few department heads, mainly audit and tax. notably absent is an executive committee, mainly because firms feel that with five to seven partners, it makes little sense for three of them to be on the ec.<\/p>\n stage 3: management is now seen as more critical than at smaller sizes.<\/strong> firms at this stage often form an executive committee. this stage generally begins when the partner number exceeds seven.<\/p>\n a management committee (mc) is a group of partners, each of whom is assigned a distinct area of the firm to manage.\u00a0 examples include admin, hr, marketing and quality control. usually one of the members of the mc is the managing partner, though he or she often functions more like an admin partner than a true ceo. management committees are found most often in smaller firms. their presence rarely reduces the number of general partner meetings convened by the firm.<\/p>\n let\u2019s make an important point:<\/p>\n management by committee does not work.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n some readers who are partners at firms that manage by committee may be annoyed with me, but hear me out.<\/p>\n let me tell you why management by committee doesn\u2019t work.<\/p>\n often mc members are not compensated for their time, which should be quite significant if they are doing their jobs properly. as a result, i have repeatedly found that firms with management committees are quick to agree that they don\u2019t meet very often and don\u2019t accomplish much.<\/p>\n an executive committee (ec) functions much like the board of a corporation. the ec\u2019s main duties are oversight of the firm and counsel to the managing partner. ecs are most common at firms with nine or more partners and consist of a small number of partners, usually three including the mp, who serves as chair. generally, when firms get to 15 or more partners, they may increase the ec to five partners.<\/p>\n when firms initially form ecs, the number of general partner meetings may not be immediately reduced. but as the firm\u2019s management structure begins to play a more substantial role in firm governance, fewer general partner meetings are needed.<\/p>\n general<\/strong><\/p>\n when the number of partners in a firm gets too large to involve all partners on all issues, firms create an executive committee to work with the managing partner on the firm\u2019s strategic and high-level governance issues, functioning as a board.<\/p>\n specific<\/strong><\/p>\n 10 specific duties.<\/strong>
