About the Summit

Realised leadership potential

Against a backdrop of tired legal events, the inaugural Partner Summit made waves as an incisive national forum dedicated to addressing the specific concerns of law firm partners. With an agenda developed in deep consultation with advisory partners, the summit exposed senior attendees to the latest thinking and best practices emerging from the heights of legal leadership.

In the face of looming volatility in global markets and politics, the summit challenged law firm partners to think beyond traditional understandings of management and practical expertise. Attendees heard how partners could protect themselves, their firms, and their clients by improving cyber security posture and professionalising approaches to financial and succession planning. It also pulled at the thread of AI to better understand how this revolutionary technology threatened established firm practices by upending client expectations, redefining team management, and challenging underlying business models.

The summit served as the ultimate platform for vocational growth, connected like-minded colleagues, and exposed them to divergent perspectives. Attending this summit was an investment in the future success and sustainability of each firm, propelling participants towards success at a time of increased competition for top talent and clientele alike.
