Watch now [Jack Hamon, Group Practice Quality | TC Group Partnerships](https://youtu.be/WDBtoqy0m_4) ## FAQs ### What do partners say about joining TC Group? Partners consistently highlight three things: the preservation of their autonomy, the support they’ve received through our central practice management infrastructure, and the growth opportunities that weren’t available to them as an independent firm. ### What happens to a firm's staff after joining TC Group? Staff remain in place under local leadership. TC Group’s integration approach is designed to protect culture and team continuity: people aren’t moved or absorbed into a central structure. ### What happens to client relationships after a firm joins TC Group? Clients continue to be served by the same local team they know. The relationship doesn’t change. In most cases, clients benefit from access to a broader range of specialist services they couldn’t previously access. ### How long does it take to settle in after joining TC Group? Every firm’s different, but TC Group’s structured integration approach is designed to manage the transition efficiently and sensitively, minimising disruption to day-to-day operations. While some changes, such as systems and technology, may start to be introduced from day one, these are carefully managed to support a smooth and successful transition.
