Description

This year’s Managing Partners’ breakfast session considers key areas that managing partners are focused on in these times of significant change in how legal services are being formulated and delivered. What are the main challenges and the opportunities for law firms? If you are a managing partner, general counsel or have a role/interest in law firm/practice management, this is your opportunity to hear directly from, and share your thoughts with, leaders of global and national law firms who are instrumental in the development and management of their practices. This breakfast takes the form of an interactive roundtable discussion. As well as hearing about their personal experiences and insights, you have the opportunity to exchange views with the expert panel of influential managing partners and with an audience of fellow practitioners – all of whom face similar challenges in law practice management. This is particularly focused on the various pressure points created, for example, by the need to embrace greater use of technology, facilitate flexible working, maintain strong culture and teamwork, and achieve efficiencies, yet at the same time retain key staff in addition to external economic factors.
