‘Huge questions facing law firm leaders’ – AI, ethics and talent take centre stage at new City law summit

Kate Peacock publishes a feature on the CLLS Senior Leaders Conference at Guildhall.

‘City law firms need to be confident – a challenging concept, as it is often confused with arrogance. But City law is not arrogant, and we need to be more confident in City law and what it contributes to the global economy.’

City of London Law Society (CLLS) chairman Colin Passmore was speaking at the society’s first-ever conference of senior leaders, which saw more than 100 partners, barristers, and general counsel gather at the Guildhall to discuss the most pressing issues affecting the legal sector.
