Description
What it takes to build a healthy, resilient environment in a modern law firm. Stuck between traditional perceptions of lawyers, often outrageous client expectations and the Gen Z need for a more balanced life, the leaders of today's law firms are facing quite a dilemma. In our session a professional psychologist will speak with law firm leaders from several regions of Europe to find out what their secret to success is and what others can take away from their experiences.
