IBA Middle East Conference: Law firms and clients working together

27 Feb - 28 Feb 2024

Session information

Creating a culture to look after and develop our people

Wednesday 28 February (1400 - 1430)

Description

Many older lawyers talk about the challenges of working with the “new generation”. However, this is a reality to which everyone must adapt rather than complain. This may mean we need more people to ensure we are developing our talent in the way they expect to be developed, both with substantive legal skills and (equally importantly) a wide range of soft skills. We must stop assuming young lawyers will at some point “wake up and get on with it”; it’s the law firms and legal departments that must change. Those that adapt will be much more successful in retaining talent and clients.
