Challenging the Status Quo: Leading with Resilience and Leveraging Strategies for Legal Function Management a.ouko@acc.com
On-Demand

Are you constantly balancing increasing accountabilities, client demands, and attrition rates? Do the responses "burned-out" and "overwhelmed" sound too familiar? This panel discussion is designed to present an overview of key practice management standards/Rules of Professional Conduct from U.S. and Canadian jurisdictions related to competence, practice management and wellness alongside strategies for in-house lawyers, taking into account perspectives from in-house and law firm lawyers, to lead and manage with resilience and leverage effective communication, attention and decision management approaches to prioritize and manage workload in alignment with organizational strategic priorities to allow for efficient delivery of legal services.

In particular, the panel will discuss the American Bar Association Model Rules of Professional Conduct, Rule 1.1 (Competence), and comparative competence rules alongside the Model Rules of Professional Conduct, Rule 1.1 (Competence), comparatively, between California, Illinois, New York, Texas and Ontario, Canada – and the interplay of attorney competence with strategies for in-house lawyers to build resilience.

Following the panel discussion, attendees will break out into groups for an interactive discussion around various legal practice management scenarios, using a special “session dice” leveraging the approaches discussed during the panel and share approaches to challenging legal practice and management situations.
