About This Event
Join us for a first-of-its-kind summit designed exclusively for managing partners and law firm leaders across the region. This complimentary, one-day event will bring together peers to explore the evolving landscape of legal practice—now with a focused lens on artificial intelligence.
The program features timely, practical sessions on managing a modern law firm, including financial strategy, talent development, and the growing impact of AI on operations and client service. Attendees will gain actionable insights from industry experts and fellow leaders navigating similar challenges.
Our keynote speaker, John Hasley, CEO of Contract Rabbit, will share his perspective on how AI is transforming legal practice and redefining competitive advantage. After leaving Big Law to launch an AI-driven legal company, Hasley brings a unique, forward-looking viewpoint on where the industry is headed.
The day concludes with a networking reception at the CDA Resort, offering an opportunity to connect with peers in a relaxed setting.
A limited block of rooms is available at the Resort until May 22nd—early reservations are encouraged.
Don’t miss this opportunity to connect, learn, and shape the future of law firm leadership. Register today to reserve your place.
