This session will cover key themes and takeaways from the recent conference season, with a focus on what’s most relevant for law firms right now.

We’ll be sharing reflections from the Law Society’s Risk and Compliance Conference, including some of the common threads running through the sessions and what they suggest about the direction of travel for the profession.

The discussion will be informal and practical, aimed at giving a clear sense of what’s on the horizon and what firms may want to start thinking about.
