OBA Law Practice Management PROGRAM | 8:30 AM to 9:30 AM

Millennial lawyers are entering the time in their careers to be eligible to apply for partnership, but few are interested in becoming a partner.   As the number of potential partners shrink, competition is not as rampant and the quality of candidates may not be as strong.  Join our discussion to explore what can be done to attract, manage, retain and motivate associates, and encourage the right kind of potential partner candidates.  Not every lawyer will be a ‘rain maker’.  Not every partner will be a superstar. We will also discuss:

• The path to partnership: do you have transparent criteria that are agreed to by the partners and understood by associates?
• How do you handle ‘career associates’?
• Who makes these decisions at your firm?

This program is intended for managing partners and executive committee members of law firms of five to fifty lawyers and is not a networking referral group. The focus is on a high level knowledge and experience exchange. This and other programs in the series are designed for a small group setting therefore seating is limited for these highly interactive sessions.
