Most people in our industry will agree that finding the right partners is crucial to success. At their best, these relationships allow access to expertise that your firm may lack, open a world of new connections and lead to far better outcomes than would have been possible going it alone.

The start of a new year and a new decade is a natural time for your firm to take a step back and think critically about its partnerships. These can be high-stakes decisions. Strong partnerships require investments of time and resources — and at most organizations, both are in short supply. This means it can be a real challenge to forge working relationships that benefit both parties, but with the right amount of legwork and due diligence, the payoff is immense.
