As we launch into 2022, law firms are resetting their strategic agenda. Success will be largely driven by a firm’s ability to attract and retain the right clients, as well as the right team. Managing balance and adjusting your marketing efforts for more work, whilst developing an Employee Value Proposition to attract the right talent, can be a real challenge in the current market. So where do you begin?

In this session, David Goener and Kim Wiegand will explore the holy trinity of Culture, Clients and Cashflow (3Cs) in support of sustainable growth. They will share the latest data on legal services buyer behaviour, demand growth and firms’ internal investment, identifying trends and implications for law firms. They will discuss the importance of people to sustainable growth and why internal investment first may be the most sustainable solution long term. They will also highlight recommendations and practical take aways for each pillar of the 3Cs.
