If you’ve ventured into the world of fixed fee pricing or been to any big legal conference in the last few years, chances are you’ll have heard of Matthew Burgess and his #burnthetimesheet crusade.
Matthew co-founded specialist firm View Legal in 2014. The firm specialises in tax, estate and succession planning, providing strategic advice to business owners and high net worth individuals. Matthew is also a speaker, author and consultant. If you haven’t seen Matthew speak, find a way to be at his next event. He is a fantastic, engaging speaker and is generous with sharing what he knows.
