Nigel spent the last nine years of his 30+ years in private practice as Managing Partner and then CEO of a successful regional law firm.
Nigel is a former Chair of the Law Management Section of the Law Society and an alumnus of Harvard Business School’s Leading Professional Service Firms course.
Haddon Consult is a management consultancy focused on Pricing. Nigel has worked with some 100 firms, both lawyers and accountants, from niche sole practitioner to top 50, and worked or spoken in more than ten jurisdictions. Nigel has specialized in this field for over ten years. Pricing has always been the single biggest lever that professional service firms can pull to improve profitability. But now more than ever, clients want transparency, choice and certainty from their professional advisers. They want to pay for outputs, not inputs. As AI nibbles away at billable hours, firms that don’t embrace value pricing risk being left behind by those that do.
Nigel teaches Pricing at Masters level for The College of Law, Australia. Nigel is widely published in this field, including various Law Society publications
For a handful of clients, Nigel offers constructive challenge and support to their leadership teams, either as a ‘critical friend’ or Non-Executive director.
