London Lawyers to Fight Back?

Put it in your diaries now – Tuesday 15 September for The City of London Law Society (CLLS) and the City of London Corporation’s summit for senior leaders in the legal sector. The theme will be ‘The London Law Imperative: Potential, pressures and priorities shaping City Law’ but it is a challenge to read the tone of the event. 

“Across markets, technology, regulation, and talent, City firms are navigating rising complexity while working to sustain performance and client trust,” say the CLLS. “Structured as a senior peer exchange – a series of practical discussions rather than set-piece speeches – the programme will cover the most pressing issues for firm leaders: the changing business of City law; financial performance; the rise of private equity; the continued expansion of US firms in London; the rule of law and responsible practice; how artificial intelligence will, and will not, reshape the law firm model; and the talent equation – culture, wellbeing, career pathways and the expectations of a new generation of lawyers.”
