The Clients They Keep: A Discussion on the Price Firms May Pay For Certain Representations

Law firms are increasingly under the microscope when it comes to the clients they choose to represent. Is the mantra that every client deserves a defense losing sway? Or is it a sacrosanct edict of the legal profession that shouldn't be challenged?

This roundtable discussion will dive into the implications of law firms' choice of clients and lawyers. We will look to hear from talent, clients, consultants and law firm management on the balance that needs to be struck, what client intake processes should look like, how firms manage the public relations aspect of the work they do, how they communicate decisions internally and externally and how choices around client representation impact a firm's culture.
