Central and Eastern Europe’s elite law firms: managing partners in discussion – challenges in the wake of Covid-19 and beyond

Overview

For many firms located in Central and Eastern Europe, the Covid-19 pandemic has brought with it several challenges. From finding and holding on to talented new practitioners, to withstanding strong salary pressures from international firms, to navigating a complex web of varying political landscapes. In this context, please join us for a discussion with the managing partners of elite firms across the region as our leading experts discuss, among other things:

  • The importance of strong corporate culture in law firms: can a strong purpose in a firm translate into a solid competitive advantage in the marketplace?
  • Re-evaluating firms’ business model: have recent cultural/social/technological factors made the original business model of law firms, originating in the 1970s and 80s, obsolete? How can law firms adapt to change?
  • The differences between national and international law firms in the CEE region.
  • The challenges of the Covid-19 pandemic: damage or opportunity?
  • Attracting and holding on to talent: how law firms reinvent themselves to become an attractive destination for the younger generation of lawyers.
