Let's discuss what the legal profession should be doing to enhance its value proposition to those in the profession, those contemplating joining the profession and those who engage the services of the profession by developing and expanding the legal and non-legal skillsets of lawyers to equip them for the multi-faceted and global profession that lawyers operate in today and by creating a working environment that affords work life balance and a rewarding career so as to retain lawyers in the practice of law.
This will focus on lawyers in private practice, in-house and, across all legal sectors and will discuss and aggregate the findings in the Panel Sessions earlier in the week at IBA Paris Annual Conference which address various facets of these issues.
This SPPI Showcase promises to be a dynamic and interactive session bringing together the experiences of wide range of lawyers, young and senior, and those who rely on legal services. It is a must attend for those involved in law practice management and, in particular, if you are concerned to retain talent in these times of the Great Resignation.
