The Austin Chapter of the Association of Legal Administrators invites you to our annual Managing Partner Breakfast, featuring Dr. Sharon Meit Abrahams, President of Legal Talent Advisors, LLC. Dr. Abrahams will present “From Problem to Productive: Helping Your Law Firms’ Underperformers.”

All firms have it. Leadership hopes it will fix itself, but it won’t. Dealing with underperforming lawyers is a topic that makes managing partners and firm leaders cringe. No one wants to have “the talk” with the underperformer. To be an effective leader and move your firm forward, you must address this situation no matter how uncomfortable it makes you.
