IBA Middle East Conference: Law firms and clients working together
27 Feb - 28 Feb 2024
Session information
Working with legal departments at corporate clients
Wednesday 28 February (0940 - 1025)
Description
General counsel often comment on how many law firms “work the way they work” rather than seeking to adapt to the way the client works. This is a potential frustration for general counsel and others within legal departments at corporate clients. Similarly, lawyers in law firms – especially associates – sometimes get frustrated with demands for immediate responses with little or no explanation or prioritisation from corporate legal departments. Surely we all simply need to talk more!
