Description
This year's Managing Partners' breakfast session is focused on the challenge facing law practice managers in 'Leading through Change'. 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 and in-house legal practices, who are instrumental in the development and management of their practices. This breakfast will take the form of an interactive roundtable discussion. As well as hearing about their personal experiences and insights, you will have the opportunity to exchange views with the expert panel of influential managing partners and general counsel, and an audience of fellow practitioners, all of whom face similar challenges in law practice management. This will be 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.
