Law as a Professional Services Business
A Zoom Discussion
Wednesday July 13, 2022, 12:00-1:15 P.M.
During law school and bar exam preparation, there is a great focus on law as a profession. But it is abundantly clear that one’s future success as a lawyer also depends in part on recognizing that law is a business. While legal practice differs from other professional services businesses such as consulting and investment banking, those other fields can teach lawyers how to successfully interact with clients, obtain and retain clients, and receive timely payment for bills, as well as how to grow wisely, attract and retain talent, and manage well.
This is a must-attend panel for those seeking career success in the private sector or in government, or to get involved with organizational management.
Our panel of speakers, all of whom are Harvard College graduates, include:
Harry Trueheart, III, ‘69, Chairman Emeritus of Nixon Peabody law firm/Past Chair of TerraLex, law firm leadership adviser and international mediator/ADR.
Caroline Brown, ‘90, Partner at Brown & Peisch (health care focus), previously a partner at Covington & Burling and a former clerk to the Honorable Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Sandra Day O’Connor, U.S. Supreme Court.
Deborah Gelin, ‘83/Harvard Business School, Retired Legal Executive Recruiter focused on the Washington, D.C. marketplace, with hundreds of placements in the D.C. metro area.
