IBA Law Firm Management Committee Academy for Leaders, 22-25 July 2025, London

The focus for law firms is on what happens next – what the 'next normal' might be and what the future holds – in a very
challenging world. 'Margin squeeze' is being discussed in all law firms.

It is likely that the pandemic changed some aspects of legal practice permanently. Looking to the future, lawyers and clients
alike are reviewing their relationships, bringing more 'human' relationships with a drive for openness and purpose. Many
management challenges remain highly relevant and need addressing.

Those prepared to embrace change and understand the opportunities arising from change will emerge in a much stronger
position in the future.

The IBA's Academy for Leaders examines legal services and explains what is changing, the aspects that will stay the same and
the key success factors for ensuring continued growth and success in the years ahead. Critically, it will look at this both entirely
practically (eg, what should law firms do) and from a truly global perspective.
