Challenging the Status Quo: Leading with Resilience and Leveraging Strategies for Legal Function Management

On September 18, 2024, Jason St. John, Managing Partner at Saul Ewing LLP, will be presenting with two in-house counsel at the Association of Corporate Counsel Chicago Chapter Summit.

Are you constantly balancing increasing accountabilities, client demands, and attrition rates?  Do the responses ‘burned-out’ and ‘overwhelmed’ sound too familiar? This panel discussion is designed to present an overview of key practice management standards/Rules of Professional Conduct from U.S. jurisdictions related to competence, practice management and wellness; and impart strategies for in-house lawyers to lead with resilience and manage workload in alignment with organizational priorities to allow for efficient delivery of legal services.  Following the panel discussion, attendees will breakout into groups for an interactive discussion around various legal practice management scenarios, leveraging the approaches discussed during the panel and sharing approaches to challenging legal practice and management situations.
