• VISIONARY LEADER
• LEAD & GROW PRACTICE
• $HIGHLY ATTRACTIVE PACKAGE

We have been retained to execute a search which will see the appointment of a CEO / Managing Partner to lead this prestigious and well respected Sydney based Law firm. The key element of this search is to find an individual who can lead this firm to the next phase of its maturity. This will see growth all on fronts, commercial, operational efficiencies, personal, with the driving force being to build on an already successful business. With a strong brand and market reputation, built upon both tenure and execution this is a huge opportunity for the right CEO to partner with this owner on this journey of transition.

It is expected that you will have a legal background and have significant exposure to "C-suite" and leadership. Whilst there are obvious tangible assets critical in appointment, the key driver is to find a CEO that comes equipped with the appropriate "sizzle" or "wow" factor. You will naturally pursue best practice / excellence, relish the journey of leading and growing a firm and perhaps most importantly have the internal desire and drive to "want" to do this. To be considered for this role you will need to be a dynamic and collaborative leader, with the ability to engage and develop strong relationships with a range of stakeholders including members and commercial partners. Key selection criteria will be:

• Demonstrable exposure to leadership roles across professional services and more specifically legal services.
• Proven experience in leadership and management of multidisciplinary teams.
• Sound financial and commercial acumen coupled with a client centric approach.
• Extensive experience working with cross practice Partners
• Excellent analytical, strategic thinking, and problem-solving skills.
• Demonstrated ability to manage complex projects and drive operational improvements.
• Exceptional communication, collaboration and interpersonal skills, with the ability to influence and engage stakeholders at all levels.
• Strong understanding of legal operations, commercial transactions and disputes processes preferred.
• Proficiency in business software applications and implementations.

This is a unique opportunity for a bold, strategic leader to guide this firm into its next phase of growth and impact. The incoming CEO will work closely with a committed ExCo and experienced management team to implement a refreshed strategy which ultimately yields success on all fronts.
