Work collaboratively to find answers as to how we might address these issues common to law firms:

  1. Pricing and Profitability: How might we identify the necessary data and insights, as well as develop and evangelize best practices, to improve pricing and profitability in any law firm?
     
  2. Employee Life Cycle: How might we emphasize the many benefits of diverse perspectives and inclusive culture throughout the employee life cycle to the maximum benefit of the employee and the firm? (The life cycle ranges from recruiting and onboarding to advancement and offboarding.)
     
  3. Client Experience: How might we better understand the client and create more collaborative partnerships between firms and clients that lead to improved client service and business success?
     
  4. Nontraditional Law Firm: How might we reshape the narrative about the definition of lawyering and the provision of legal services to benefit legal professionals?
