Law People Management, LLC is one of the leading authorities on lawyer personalities and the application of behavioral science to the legal workplace. The organization was founded and is still run by Ronda Muir.
Muir, through Law People Management, increases law firm and law department profits by aligning structure, compensation, management, and professional development by enhancing client service. She practiced in New York and Europe for many years in outside counsel and in-counsel positions. She was an attorney with Davis Polk & Wardwell, Co-General Counsel for the TAG Group, and VP of the CPR Institute for Dispute Resolution. She earned her J.D. from the University of Texas Law School.
The primary role for Law People Management is to create custom management consulting services for law firms and law departments with business-savvy, psychologically sophisticated and real-world solutions. They have advised Fortune 500 companies as well as law firms of all sizes.
The advice given on the blog covers a range of categories for those in the legal community to benefit from. In a recent post, Muir discusses how the law is being dumbed down. Muir discusses the lack of gender diversity in another post. She explains how much of the lack of women in the legal industry is because women want different things than men. They are looking for something out of their career that a law career is often not able to provide, such as a work-life balance.
Another post from October 2015 covers a topic that Muir specializes in – conflict. Lawyers face conflict daily; it is what their job is ultimately about. Not only is there conflict in the cases they take on for clients, there can be conflict inside law firms themselves. The post continues by discussing how lawyers are constantly at conflict with themselves.
