The legal talent landscape is undergoing a fundamental reset as firms reevaluate the roles, skills, and structures needed to meet today’s business demands. This session explores how firms are rebalancing their talent strategies for a new era of law. The conversation offers a candid look at what leadership believes the firm needs to thrive—and how that aligns or diverges from what the early and mid-career associates seek as they build their professional paths.

Discussion topics include:  

• Where leadership’s vision for talent aligns—or conflicts—with what early- and mid-career attorneys expect from their workplaces 
• Building sustainable development paths and succession strategies that support long-term growth and retention 
• Practical approaches to strengthening engagement, communication, and collaboration across today’s diverse and evolving legal workforce
