Welcome Back Cotterman!
After a 3-year sabbatical from the A&FP Board of Editors, longtime member James D. Cotterman has rejoined our ranks. A principal at the law firm consultancy Altman Weil, Inc., and nationally prominent as a consultant, author and seminar leader, Jim is perhaps best known as the editor of Compensation Plans for Law Firms (Fourth Edition, ABA, 2004).
Even during his absence from the Board, Jim provided A&FP with outstanding articles and roundtable contributions; his most recent article was 'Compensation Decision Aids: How Better Guidance Evolved' (March 2006). We look forward to more of Jim's well-informed, sophisticated insights on compensation issues, associated statistical trends and other topics of central importance to law firm strategists and accounting-financial managers.
Retiring from the Board is William F. Brennan, who has written for A&FP on risk management, insurance and organizational issues. Also a principal at Altman Weil, Inc., Bill wrote our first 'Basics Revisited' article and was especially helpful to me early in my editorship, when I experimented with several new article formats.
Ed Poll has authored a new LawBiz' Special Report, The Lawyer Banker Relationship. Check it out at www.lawbiz.com.
Ed Wesemann tells you how to 'throttle' unprofitably difficult clients on his Web site, www.edwesemann.com. Be candid, you know you want to do it. Seriously, it's a terrific motivational article on getting after clients who contribute little to profits and lots to your overdue receivables, write-downs and antacid intake.
