THE PEOPLE FACTOR
Recruitment, retention, and resourcing in 2023
VENUE: DLA Piper, 160 Aldersgate Street, London (in person); MS Teams (virtual)
DATE: Tuesday 25th April 2023
TIME: 16:00 – 18:30
“The war for talent” is the subject of an almost incessant debate within law firms, on social media and at multiple events and webinars. But the focus is often exclusively on the highly competitive market for qualified lawyers. As anyone who leads business services functions inside law firms knows well, the war for talent and the fall-out from the pandemic has also dramatically increased the challenges of recruiting, retaining, and resourcing people in these areas.
With rampant inflation, the “great resignation” seeing some of our most experienced people leaving, intense competition from other industries and, now, the looming threat of budget cuts as the economy stutters, it is timely for LOAFF to turn its attention to the people factor.
We have assembled an expert panel of senior leaders to present this thinking, pulled from law firm facilities and HR, support staff recruitment and outsourced service people management, facilitated by leading law firm operations specialist, Chris Bull.
Our fantastic speakers include:
- Ruth Davison, Associate Director of HR, King and Spalding
- Anne Harnetty, MD, Jonson Beaumont
- Sue Kingdon, Head of Operations, Dentons
- Mark Blakemore, COO, Freeths
- Jenni Hardy, Head of HR EMEA, Williams Lea
As ever, we will put the emphasis on encouraging discussion and debate from our audience – both live in London and online for those who can’t join us in person, despite the lure of networking over drinks and nibbles!
