The Managing Partners Forum is in its seventeenth year and has established itself as the foremost event for legal leaders in strategy, leadership and technology, throughout the Asian Pacific region.
It is Chilli IQ’s consistent determination of seventeen years of excellence in producing events for law firm leaders and partners that the legal industry can trust the quality of each event created. Guided by the astute input of the advisory panel, speakers and topics are selected for their relevance in enhancing the role of the legal leader and preparing them for better future planning
The rapid advancement of technology will bring about significant changes in the roles of people in the workplace, particularly in the legal sector. As we move towards a more automated and distributed world, it is crucial to plan for the future of the modern law firm. The integration of bots and AI into the workflow means that we will be working more closely with technology than ever before. It also highlights the importance of managing people who will be using these technologies and whose lives and role will be significantly impacted by them.
Clearly, the future of legal services will not be entirely digital, we will see a fusion of biological and digital resources, where lawyers and technology work together as a ‘centaur’ to provide outstanding legal services.
As we move towards this new paradigm, it is crucial to ensure that the human element is not lost. While technology can be a significant asset in the legal field, it is ultimately humans who will be responsible for delivering exceptional services to clients. Therefore, it is essential to strike a balance between the power of technology and the expertise of legal professionals. By leading people and their digital enhancements, law firms can ensure their continued success in an ever-changing world.
The Managing Partners Forum will discuss these new themes and also integrate essential topics like diversity, ESG, clients and other leading areas.
The event is celebrating its seventeenth year and has grown into a premier event for legal leaders. This year, it's returning to Byron Bay, where the inaugural event was held and we are excited to be back!
