My New York presentations on January 25, 26, and 27

If you work in Manhattan, I hope you will have a chance to attend one of my three public speeches the week of January 24.

On Tuesday January 25, I will give a talk entitled "How law firm leaders can promote change more effectively."  It is the opening presentation in an Ark Group workshop on Overcoming Lawyers’ Resistance to Change which I am co-chairing with consultant Patrick McKenna.  The other panelists in this all day event are Julious P. Smith, Jr., Chairman, Williams Mullen, Lisa Damon, National Chair of Labor & Employment, Seyfarth Shaw, and Tea Hoffmann, Chief Business Development Officer at Baker Donelson.

On Wednesday January 26, LegalBizDev Principal Mike Egnatchik and I will give a presentation at the New York City Bar entitled "Legal Project Management: The Keys to Success."  This will be a 90-minute summary of the Introduction to Legal Project Management course, which we frequently offer as a customized in-house workshop.  This program provides 2.0 NY CLE credits in Practice Management.

Finally, on Thursday January 27, I will participate in a New York State Bar panel on "Alternative Fee Arrangements."  The other panelists will be William Perlstein, Co-Managing Partner of WilmerHale, Henry Miller of Clark, Gagliardi & Miller, Professor Gary Munneke of Pace University School of Law, and LegalBizDev Principal Kirk Forrest.

If you get a chance to attend one of these sessions, please drop by and say hello.
