OBA PROGRAM | 1:00 PM to 2:00 PM (ET)

The transition from legal practitioner to leader is a rewarding and often expected next step for many lawyers. However, the skills that make you exceptional in practice don't automatically translate to effective leadership in the boardroom, at the partnership table, or as part of an executive team.  

Join us for this valuable session designed specifically for those stepping into or preparing for leadership roles. Whether you're a senior associate eyeing partnership, a newly promoted partner or practice group leader, or in-house counsel moving into an executive function, our top-notch panel of leadership coaches and practitioners who have made the transition themselves will share valuable insights and helpful advice on how to plan for and execute a smooth transition, including: 

• Balancing leadership and legal practice
• Practical tools for managing teams and driving firm or organizational strategy 
• How to navigate the interpersonal complexity of leading peers and former colleagues 
• Building relationships with firm leadership, boards and executive teams 
• Developing your personal leadership style and building credibility as a leader
