At the heart of every law firm are its timekeepers and employees. However, the maintenance and success of those timekeepers' career paths may be minimized by short-sighted priorities. As an example — though its benefits may be modest at best — the lateral recruiting boom of recent years shows no signs of slowing down. Managing partners are looking toward the lateral market to grow their firm, as well as answer growing succession planning issues. As those firms identify revenue growth as a top priority, many are losing sight of bottom line profitability, client satisfaction, employee satisfaction and organic growth. This session will address the various challenges surrounding not only the growth of the firm, but the individuals within it. Our moderator will begin with an interactive discussion and end with a case study that will touch on virtually all aspects of law firm personnel challenges, including mentorship, career alignment, succession planning, diversity and growth.
