Empowering future leaders in law

Tuesday 14 October 2025

Paul Marmor, Partner of Sherrards Solicitors, UK, and Senior Chair of the Law Firm Management Committee (LFMC), explains the essential principles and best practices of professional networking skills, which is a ‘must know’ for a young senior associate or partner stepping into an international organisation like the IBA with a view to building up a career as a rainmaker. Paul discusses how to efficiently and sustainably run a law firm or any department (practice area, local office etc) of it. Paul also shares his personal view on the magic of how to combine the work-life balance with 24/7 availability. According to Paul, the IBA’s LFMC is a great venue to pick up these skill sets from colleagues, the webinars, conference sessions and other programmes, including via its Training Academy for The Leaders of Tomorrow.
