The Israel-Hamas war has been a catalyst for many tense situations impacting law firms, their clients and client relationships, their employees, law schools, legal organizations and many others in the legal ecosystem. Those speaking out for either side have simultaneously served as lightning rods for the actions of the leaders of both sides of the conflict.

While the fervor has died down somewhat with the turn of the new year, the situation is a useful one in that it inspired law firm leaders to ask: “what should we be saying on issues and when?” and “how is this situation valuable to prepare for our presidential election Year?”

Leadership Is a Call to Courage and Action
