The Fourth Annual National Forum on Professional Development

There’s been no shortage of studies showing that today’s law firm associates are a different—and varied—breed when compared to their predecessors. While law firms are beginning to respond, some structures still appear to be held sacred. The Fourth Annual National Forum on Professional Development will address those structures, challenge current paradigms, and propose new models for the 21st Century.

Our expert faculty will also look beyond the associate years, to the very real issues law firms face in dealing with their senior attorneys. From the economic realities created by “two-tier” and other non-equity systems, to transition planning and the legalities of forced retirement—you won’t want to miss this critically important and timely discussion.
