"Adam Smith, Esq." In Strategic Alliance with Altman Weil and Jomati Consultants

With great pleasure, I can today announce that Adam Smith, Esq. has entered into a strategic alliance with Altman Weil, Inc., and with London-based Jomati Consultants LLP to consult with clients on matters related to law firm strategy and economics.

I have known Ward Bower of Altman Weil and Tony Williams of Jomati for some time and, while we have worked together informally in the past, the goal of this alliance is to improve what we can offer our clients in terms of depth and breadth at a time when the international legal marketplace is undergoing a period of major change. 

The resources and history of Altman Weil—going back to 1970—are well recognized and respected within our profession, and, together with my presence in New York and Tony's in London, I would like to believe we can provide our clients coverage from the two key capitals of the Anglo legal world.  

In announcing the alliance, Ward said:

"We are very pleased to be working with Bruce.  He is a true thought-leader on issues of strategic importance to the legal profession and increases the scope and depth of resources we can offer our major law firm clients."

And Tony added:

"I am delighted to be working with Bruce.  He is widely respected for his thought provoking views on law firm strategy and economics and he brings extra depth to our offering to major law firms."

Finally, on a personal note, I must tell you this is most exciting for me and a milestone in the development of "Adam Smith, Esq."

Update (19 March):  The Lawyer has published coverage, as has Legal Week.
