SUMMARY:The right structure for growth 
DESCRIPTION:The session will review the optimum structure required for bu
 ilding a sustainable firm in terms of partner and lawyer numbers\, new p
 ractice areas and the options for adapting your ownership\, decision-mak
 ing and governance models as you grow.\n\nIn particular\, the session wi
 ll review the stages of transition from a founder-led firm\, through the
  entry of new partners (who may or may not buy-out the founders)\, into 
 an institutional firm that will outlast the founders. Above all\, we wil
 l hear how the early keys to success (such as the entrepreneurial and in
 formal spirit) must inevitably change and adapt over time.\n\nTopics wil
 l include:\n\n\n	Understanding the right structure\n	Growing the firm by
  bringing in new partners\n	Opening the ownership model (through sale or
  gift of shares/buying out the founders)\n	Developing a robust governanc
 e model: a management committee and/or board\n	Defending the rights of f
 ounders within the larger entity\n	The role of the partners meetings and
  inter-play with the management committee/board\n	Agreeing the role of e
 quity partners\, with a selection process and appropriate remuneration a
 pproach\n	Planning for the safe and successful transition of founders to
  next generation leaders\n	\n\n\nWe will be closing the session by inter
 viewing three young female lawyers\, Carole Ayugi\, Suzanne Muthaura and
  Waringa Njongo\, who set out a decade ago to break the mould by launchi
 ng MMAN Advokates in Nairobi. They will share their challenges as co-fou
 nders and reflections on the keys to success.\n
