Description
Over recent years, law firm leaders have had to deal with several black swan events: a global pandemic, war in Europe and the Middle East, trade wars amongst world powers and a global economic recession with high inflation and interest rates. Leading law firms are, however, still doing well – do lawyers handle these events better than other businesses or are we simply active in a privileged industry? What have we learned? Where do we think we are headed?
