This year we have seen society rapidly evolve and the old model of partner-led law firms is evolving too. We are now witnessing a much wider group of professionals engaging with existing and potential clients. With increased competition the norm, differentiation, gathering feedback and client retention are vitally important for Marketing and BD teams. In this session, the panel highlights the key themes that influence client engagement, including the ability to be able to pivot as a firm, understanding that clients are facing a situation where legal budgets are being scrutinised and GCs are being asked to cut costs, and ultimately that clients do not want content, they want market insights based on what firms are seeing.
