Description
Are women lawyers provided with the same opportunity for revenue generation as their male counterparts? Do they have the same personal connection with client leads and decision makers?
This session will examine how women lawyers can increase revenue generation through business development initiatives and will include law firm management, partners and in-house counsel perspectives. Consideration will be given to how business development strategies differ by firm size and geographic location. The speakers will share practical tips and best practice for women lawyers and law firms generally. Audience participation is welcome.
