Webinar: From Strategy to Survival: How Law Firms Are Quickly Changing Priorities

How are law firm leaders acting, and reacting, during these troubled times? How are their priorities shifting? How are they tackling the tough conversations?

While the scope and impact of the pandemic is unprecedented, experienced business leaders still rely on a crisis playbook to help them make their way through. In an upcoming webinar, my friend and collaborator David Ackert and I will be sharing our insights, gleaned from our own business experience and captured from conversations with managing partners and chief operating officers at our client law firms. Register here.

When: The live webinar will be held on Tuesday, 7 April, from 1-2 PM ET.

Description: The global pandemic has likely derailed much of your 2020 strategic plan. While we still don’t know for sure that 2020 will be a disastrous financial year for law firms, we do know that navigating a firm through a time of significant uncertainty will pose unique challenges, as well as strategic opportunities. In this webinar, presented by David Ackert and Tim Corcoran, we will discuss how law firm leaders are pivoting, re-prioritizing, and attending to the operational details of running the business than ever before. In addition, we will discuss how some law firm leaders are investing for growth while simultaneously adapting to (and funding) a stay-at-home workforce, managing cash flow, responding to client demands for flexible payment terms, and tackling tough conversations with lawyers and business professionals who are naturally concerned for their own well-being.

Attendees will:
— Discover how leaders in other businesses triage and manage through down business cycles
— Learn some of the challenges other law firm leaders are facing and how they’re adapting
— Take away practical advice on prioritizing short- and long-term next steps to managing through uncertainty
— Be emboldened to make course corrections that previously may have been unthinkable
— Understand how to harness the business opportunities current circumstances may present
