In this episode of The Lawyers Weekly Show, host Jerome Doraisamy welcomes Hall & Wilcox partner Tony Macvean (who until recently was the firm’s managing partner for 17 years) to discuss his career at the firm since he was a young professional, the growth he oversaw for the firm in his years as its head, the biggest challenges he faced in those years, becoming more business-minded, and what it’s been like for him to return to full-time practice.

Macvean also unpacks the recent leadership process and change that Hall & Wilcox undertook and why it occurred, the broader lessons and strategies that emerged from that undertaking, where he thinks the firm currently sits in the market and where it wants to be, the implementation of an approach to be “courageous”, the top-down culture the firm looks to imbibe, its approach to innovation, what excites him about the firm’s future and that of the profession more broadly, and what comes next for him, both personally and professionally.
