MLP Law builds a strong leadership team after a merger

‘Your FLOCK helped us to understand and build the right culture for MLP Law and accelerate our growth by hiring the best-fit candidates.’

– Stephen Attree, Owner and Director at MLP Law

BACKGROUND

MLP Law’s vision is to be the most trusted provider of legal services in the North West. They provide a full range of legal services to private and commercial clients.

Building relationships and providing a service to guide clients along their business and personal journey sit at the core of how MLP Law operates. They have offices in Altrincham, Liverpool, Lymm and Media City.

THE CHALLENGE

The legal industry is currently shifting due to a new workforce entering the market. Millennials often expect a working culture that’s almost polarising to what historically was acceptable in the industry. Attracting, developing and keeping high-performers is an industry-wide challenge.

MLP Law acquired William H Lill in 2017 and wanted to enhance its unique selling proposition by investing in its culture to attract & develop top talent that stays with the company for the long haul.

Partners wanted to lead the organisation more effectively by understanding and building the right culture for MLP Law.
