Law Firm Business: "Chutes & Ladders" or "FORTNITE"?
11:30-12:30 PM
Understanding the business of law and how the business is being disrupted are keys to starting on the path of innovation and change. Without a grounding in the real business of a law firm, you can be caught in what is, at its best, a game of Chutes & Ladders, and at its worst - FORTNITE! In this instructive and interactive session, you'll learn about the law firm as a business and the pressures on the traditional business model. Executive leaders of two firms will provide examples of how they are helping their law firm businesses think differently, how to engage lawyers in driving efficiencies, and how a focus on culture and creativity can help transform the business and get to the Finish Line.
