Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

History, Transformation and the Future of Law | Ashton Hunt 🎙️
Q: What triggered the strategic shift from a traditional high-street/region-focused firm to a broader, more national footprint without chasing London?
We focused on leveraging our regional strength, investing in processes and people, and expanding service lines that naturally align with our core client base, rather than simply chasing size or a city presence. This approach preserved culture and profitability while enabling national reach.
History, Transformation and the Future of Law | Ashton Hunt 🎙️
Q: Could you describe your role and how you balance leading both the law and financial services sides of Tees?
I don't have direct client work; my role is to manage the wider business, align the two entities, and remove bottlenecks so lawyers can focus on solving client problems. This balance lets us scale while maintaining a high-quality client experience.
Law, Pressure and the Time for Change | Ep 37 Mark Evans
Q: What are your three presidential themes and why them?
He outlines themes of future-proofing the profession, championing its positive impact, and improving solicitor wellbeing, explaining that these are connected and applicable to all practice sizes, from sole practitioners to city firms.
Law, Pressure and the Time for Change | Ep 37 Mark Evans
Q: What motivated you to pursue the role of Law Society President?
Mark Evans discusses a long-held desire to effect practical change in the profession, driven by his background and a belief that leadership could bring about real improvements in how lawyers are supported and regulated.
Using pace as a leadership tool | Ep 36 Jo Farmer
Q: If you could remap leadership for a month, where would you go to run the firm from anywhere in the world?
Buenos Aires would be my pick, not only for the experience but for the inspiration it would bring to travel, culture, and leadership perspective when guiding the firm remotely.
