In this episode of The Purposeful Strategist, Belden Menkus speaks with Peter Haden, Chief Executive of Fletchers Group, one of the UK's leading personal injury and clinical negligence law firms. As a PE-backed firm, a major focus for Fletchers is scaling while maintaining service and values. In their conversation, they discuss:

· The relatively new role of private equity in the legal space, and how it plays out at Fletchers.

· How Peter and his exec team manage through rapid change, including weekly review meetings across every aspect of the practice.

· The strategic thinking behind how Fletchers approaches acquisitions.

· The unique challenges of a firm built around caring for clients who are facing serious injury or malpractice.

· Why Peter sees doing right by people and doing right by the business as the same thing.
