Description
‘The best way to predict a future is to create it’ – Peter Drucker
In a rapidly changing and competitive legal market, how can your firm future-proof the ‘three Rs’ of business development: relationships, reputation and revenue? Our panel will look at different perspectives on what law firms could and should be doing right now to prepare for a successful future including:
• What do general council (GCs) expect from their law firms (aside from great advice and service)?
• How can firms engage their rising stars in client relationships and business development?
• Technology trends firms cannot ignore;
• developing and implementing strategy to claim your space in the market;
• the role of data and metrics in decision making;
• And the importance of authenticity in business development.
