Simon Mccrum

I qualified as a solicitor in the UK in 1990. Initially a Commercial Litigation fee-earner, I moved into management, Marketing and Business Development roles. I became Managing Partner at a full service law firm in 2007, just as the Credit Crunch was starting. We turned the firm around and it became the UK's fastest-growing law firm. The firm was acquired by Knights PLC in 2016 and I left a while later to launch McCrum Consulting. For the last decade or so I have worked with law firms (and accountancy firms) around the world to help them to do the things I did right and to avoid the things I did wrong. I have set out my thoughts and priorities in my Management, Growth, and Leadership trilogy of books. I work with firms to help them to grow fast and safely, and I speak on these subjects at conferences around the world. I am also a latecomer to the motorbiking party, so I spend a lot of time on my Harley and on my touring bike around Europe.
