Overview

With the immediate impact of the financial crisis fading, independent law firms are now intent on planning for a new, extremely challenging business environment. They will need to continue to boost their own operational efficiency and they will need to explore new ways of delivering legal services to an ever-more demanding client base.

The most confident law firms will also be targeting new markets and opportunities, both on their home territory, but also in the world’s high-growth economies.

The programme for this conference has been carefully tailored with these challenges in mind. We will take a close look at the emerging markets and hear from senior lawyers based in jurisdictions that are continuing to thrive. We will hear from senior clients to ascertain what in their eyes makes the law firms stand out from the crowd. We will also take a very close look at key aspects of law firm management. Furthermore, following feedback from last year’s conference, we have also included a session on media relations. As ever, we have made sure that there are plenty of networking opportunities for delegates and speakers.
