Small and medium sized law firms are often disproportionally affected by geopolitical events and economic instability; they tend to have smaller cash reserves, find it more difficult to attract and retain talent in times of labour shortage and lack the non-lawyer expert input that international firms would tend to receive.

In this session we will examine the challenges and potential solutions to sustainable profitability, for such small and medium sized law firms.
