The multi-disciplinary advantage
The Professional Practices Alliance (PPA) is a multi-disciplinary collaboration between leading independent firms, advising professional services firms on partnership and employment law, partner remuneration, strategy, tax, accountancy and compliance issues.
Who are the Alliance members?
The Alliance brings together top specialists from law firm CM Murray LLP, partner remuneration specialist David Shufflebotham of PEP.Up Consulting, and law firm management consultant Robert Millard of Cambridge Strategy Group.
CM Murray LLP specialises in partnership, employment and regulatory law. We have a particular reputation for advising US and UK firms, including law firms, and other professional practices and financial services firms, and their equity partners, on the entire life-cycle of a partnership – from establishment, international structuring, ABS and LLP conversions, mergers and acquisitions, and partnership dissolutions to partner appointments and remuneration, bullying and harassment investigations, partner discrimination and whistleblowing disputes, partner team moves, exits and restrictive covenants.
We are ranked in Band 1/Tier 1 for Partnership by both Chambers and Partners UK and The Legal 500 UK, and all of our partners are recognised by these publications for their individual expertise. Chambers and Partners UK describes CM Murray LLP as “truly focused partnership experts“, with The Legal 500 citing our firm as “one of the legal world’s strongest offerings in this area”.

Work includes:
- improving existing partner evaluation and reward systems and major redesign and implementation projects

- keynote speaking, teach-ins, workshops, design and delivery of partner conference and board sessions and strategy off-sites
