The China elite: partners in discussion
Overview
For many firms located in China, 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, The Legal 500 will be hosting a discussion with the partners of elite firms across China 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, obsolete? How can law firms adapt to change? And what technology is out there?
- The differences between national and international law firms in China.
- What practice areas do you see coming into the spotlight in 2022?
- 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.
