Here's a little video from last week, and a link to the FTIL Europe winners for 2024. I know it's a cliche, but it is dramatic how much the profession is changing. My intro article for the FT report talks about how the US law firms' expansion in Europe, and their exponential growth overall, is disrupting historical law firm hierarchies. For many law firm leaders, this is way more worrying than the impact of gen AI on their business models. I predict that over the next couple of years, we are really going to see the difference between those firms who have a strong, clearly articulated strategy and those who don't. Thanks as always to the generous insights from the law firm leaders I speak to every year who also inform the agenda for the FT/RSGI Global Summit, to name a few: Alan Mason, Hervé Ekué, Michael Davison, Paul Lewis, Shane Gleghorn, Sabine Comis at Dechert LLP, Duncan Weston, PhD, Stephen Kensell at Latham & Watkins, Neel Sachdev Thanks also to the FT team, Harriet Arnold and Robert Grange for so many things! & team RSGI! https://lnkd.in/dh89ZTZ9
