Lawcast 114: Gerry Riskin, founder of Edge International - Law practice in these recessionary times
Today I’m talking to Gerry Riskin, a Canadian lawyer and Business School graduate with a global reputation.
Gerry has clients including the most prominent firms in the world. Gerry is also a Visiting Fellow of The College of Law in London and a Visiting Professor to the Gordon Institute of Business Science at the University of Pretoria in South Africa. He is also the author of the Amazing Firms, Amazing Practices blog and an enthusiastic and effective user of twitter. He appears to need no sleep and is the founder of the Edge group with Patrick Mckenna which in January 2001, evolved into Edge International.
We talk about:
The propensity of clients to pay slow and what firms can do about it - layoffs - managing the firm through turbulent times - the knowledge gap - life after the recession? and engage in a bit of 'futurology'.
