GREATER Manchester Business Stories
GMBS: Matt Fleetwood of Beyond Law Group
Except for when they’re taking down an evil corporate entity in a John Grisham novel lawyers tend to get a bad reputation. But the reality is that lawyers often work long hours, under extreme pressure and in situations where a single mistake can have huge consequences. And alongside all this pressure they’re often working with clients who are going through a particularly stressful event.
So what I found really refreshing in this conversation with Matt Fleetwood was that in talking about the rapidly growing law firm he’s building in GM – Beyond Group – he focus much less about the services they provide and much more about how he’s building a business that’s run differently, that genuinely cares about it’s people and that’s run by a leader in Matt, who is keen to learn from those around him regardless of their experience or perceived seniority.
That’s driven by Matt’s personality but also some of the more challenging moments in his career prior to launching Beyond Group. Matt’s really open about his journey as a leader so I hope this is another great conversation to sit down and listen to.
