About the Forum
The forum is presented by Hildebrandt Baker Robbins and Hinshaw & Culbertson LLP. It brings together a highly experienced group of risk-management professionals to help law firms lower their risk exposure. As firms face ever-increasing risks, the opportunity to meet with peers, and the most respected professionals in the business is more important than ever before. In addition to economic risks, which will be addressed, the conference will address both risks and opportunities presented by technology, the use of project management to manage risk, challenges to law firm compensation and retirement policies, and more.
Specific Topics Will Include:
- Changing Technology: Opportunities and Challenges
- Internet and Social Networking Risks
- Project Management as a Risk-Management Tool
- Fallout of EEOC v. Kelly Drye
- ABA Ethics 20/20 Update
- The Challenges of Compensating Law Firm General Counsel Law Firm General Counsel
Who Should Attend
Rather than being geared toward attorney malpractice or individual risk management—this conference is geared to law firm leaders, including general counsel, who are tasked with managing law firm risk, that is: protecting the firm's assets, attorneys, and reputation.
