Quantum Leap: Advancing Firmwide Competitive Intelligence

Although many firms recognize the value of competitive intelligence (“CI”) from a business development and marketing standpoint, few succeed in fully realizing its intrinsic value to the enterprise. When properly leveraged, competitive intelligence can fundamentally transform law firm operations, practice group performance and strategic growth, and help close the gap between industry peers and Big 4 competitors. This session offers a master class in establishing a “next-level” CI framework for maximum impact across the business. Participants will discover how to sell competitive intelligence 2.0 to the partnership and firm; how to foster a culture of commitment within the marketing and sales department(s); and, perhaps most importantly, how to establish attainable benchmarks when assessing ROI.

Facilitators:

Marcie Borgal Shunk, President & Founder, The Tilt Institute

Debra S. Lawrence, Chief Strategy Officer, Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP

Madhav Srinivasan, Chief Financial Officer, Hunton Andrews Kurth LLP

2:30pm–4:15pm

Winds of Change: Advancing New Firmwide Profitability Models

Law firm profitability cannot be measured with a single mathematical formula. Indeed, in a modern legal services market where pricing pressures and client service expectations continuously evolve, law firm leaders find themselves hard-pressed to develop more bespoke levers for determining their organization’s financial health at an individual practitioner, practice group or client level. This workshop asks participants to conceptualize a more nuanced and comprehensive profitability model based upon several discrete case studies of firms where innovative metrics are helping executives understand top priorities, performers, clients and collaborators across the enterprise.

Facilitators:

Craig E. Courter, Chief Operating Officer, Katten Muchin Rosenman LLP

Trish Lilley, Chief Marketing & Business Development Officer, Stroock & Stroock & Lavan LLP

Lisa Smith, Principal, Fairfax Associates

4:15pm–5:15pm
