Whether you’re starting your career or diving deeper into management, this conference is your chance to see how leaders are preparing for what’s next – and how you can be part of that change.

The legal market is evolving fast, and it’s not just for the big players. Mid-sized firms, young professionals and new ways of working are gaining ground. This conference will explore how to build international relationships, avoid margin squeeze and create workplaces that attract and retain top talent. If you’re interested in understanding the shifts happening in the legal industry and how they might shape your role – now and in the future – this is a space to explore those ideas.


Topics will include:

• Law firm future readiness - what do you need to do now?

• Margin squeeze - how to avoid it!

• How important are international law firm relationships?

• How do we attract and retain talent now and in the future?

• What is the future for the ‘mid market’ firm

• AI is not the only way forward

• What do the clients think about the future of law firms?

Carbon efficient travel
With IBA conferences taking place in major business centres all over the world, travel is an unavoidable reality for our delegates. The IBA encourages its members and delegates to be responsible and conscious of the impact travel has on the environment and to take measures to reduce the carbon impact of their travel.

Some suggested steps that delegates can take include:

  • Travel by train instead of flying if possible.
  • Book direct flights instead of connecting flights, if available, as limiting the number of stops needed will reduce your carbon footprint.
  • Consider the impact of the travel class that you book – business class travel equates to three times the carbon footprint of economy class.

Relying on the local public transport is the more carbon friendly option, but this is not always a realistic option. Where reliance on taxis/cars is needed use electric vehicles over petrol or diesel and share vehicle usage with other delegates and colleagues.

Speaker opportunities

If you would like to be considered as a potential speaker at this specialist conference then please contact the relevant Chair/Co-Chairs in the IBA Law Firm Management Committee with your request; please send your bio together with information on your qualification and expertise on the topic.
