Hi and welcome to the October Orange Rag, in which we reveal that Linklaters, Herbert Smith Freehills and Clifford Chance have come out on top of newly-published law firm maturity rankings of the top 30 largest UK law firms.
The Law Firm Maturity Index, now in its second year, ranks firms by their organisational maturity (OMINDEX) – a company performance rating across 32 factors including values, vision, innovation, learning and knowledge, remuneration, communication and decision-making.
There are many reasons why the LFMI is important, but from a tech perspective, innovation is underpinned by culture and people, and high performing companies such as Toyota, Handelsbanken and Costco use the OMINDEX. Take a look at our top stories for more on that.
Elsewhere we bring you the high-level details of Harbor’s acquisition of Ascertus, and reveal our top story of October by a country mile, so continue reading to find out if that’s you. As usual you can come here for a recap in one place of all the wins, deals and people moves from the month.
We’re going to be looking for reflections on what we’ve learned from 2024, so please contact us on newsroom@legaltechnology.com or me directly if you would like to contribute to the November/December Orange Rag, out at the start of December.
