Critical Tools for Navigating the Evolving Law
Firm Financial and Profitability Landscape
In today’s fiercely competitive legal market, it’s critical for law firm leaders to stay current with trends
that impact financial performance.
This hands-on summit, designed for senior law firm leaders responsible for firm governance, operations
and finances, will provide practical insights to navigate the changing landscape of law firm
management.
Leading experts will offer examples and practical takeaways for how law firms can improve financial
performance, foster a more collaborative culture, create stronger ties with key clients, and grow the
business profitably.

Traditional financial metrics, including historical stalwarts such as
profits per equity partner, and compensation models based primarily
on productivity, are giving way to new tools and techniques that
empower law firms to incentivize behaviors that strengthen and align
the firm’s financial position.
In these intensive, two half-day sessions, participants will tackle the
following:
• Law Firm Profitability
• Partner Compensation
• Implications for Law Firms of Recent Tax Law Changes
