Patrick J. McKenna

Patrick McKenna is an internationally recognised author, lecturer, strategist and seasoned advisor to the leaders of premier law firms.

His speaking experience includes conducting a one-day Masterclass for NEW Firm Leaders that graduated over 80 international participants; helping select speakers, organising, chairing and presenting at over 23 Annual ARK Legal Conferences; conducting on-site Practice / Industry Group Leadership Training for clients as diverse as Intel and John Hancock Financial to Baker & McKenzie and other major law firms across 47 different countries; and participating in numerous webinars on subjects ranging from “Addressing Underperformance Issues” to “How To Differentiate in Meaningful Ways.”

Patrick has extensive experience helping organise, facilitate, and speak at Law Firm Retreats. He’s been known to explain to firm leaders that “holding a retreat is that rare opportunity to meaningfully engage your people in determining future directions for your firm and for that reason needs to be carefully structured and result in a tangible action plan with a strong commitment to implementation – all of which I will help you achieve. Alternatively, if you are simply looking for an ‘edutainer,’ I’m not the right choice.”

Finally, he is committed to a principle of “Reputation Before Revenue” and is one of the very few who guarantees client satisfaction. He states, “If you do not believe you received value equal to or greater than the quoted fee, pay only what you think it was worth!”
