Laura Empson, Professor of the Management of Professional Service Firms at Cass Business School, considers in this article the unique conundrum for leadership, that is leading in professional services firms, specifically law firms. While most theories of leadership conceptualise the notion of a following, leaders in law firms are leading peers and need to do so via consensus. Professor Empson's article is drawn from her research into this topic with 15 leading global law firms.
