***To optimize the learning experience for the Roundtable, attendees are highly encouraged to log in to their member profile to take the PLI course Improving Law Firm Profitability and listen to the Demystifying Law Firm Profitability podcast prior to the December 12th Roundtable***

While it seems straight-forward, we all know that profitability can be a tricky topic for law firm business professionals and the lawyers we advise. Drawing on both PLI’s Improving Profitability course (now available to LMA members as a complimentary member benefit), and the Strategies and Voices podcast, “Demystifying Law Firm Profitability,” this roundtable discussion will provide attendees with a deep dive and real-time discussions that will allow attendees to:

Learning Outcomes:
    • Develop a sense of comfort and credibility when speaking to peers and lawyers about law firm profitability.
    • Identify opportunities to ask smarter questions about profitability in day-to-day conversations at law firms
    • Discuss how lawyers can better communicate their value – where marketing and business development teams can help drive profitability
