As Legal Week has a large events business, our editorial team is often asked for input on conference programmes, meaning suggested topics and speakers. This usually results in our conference producers having to put up with another mind-numbing speech from me about why I think people turn up to these things. Admittedly, for the private client events a swish hotel doesn’t hurt, but it still basically boils down to the people. If you get the right calibre of speaker, you’re usually laughing. If you don’t, you aren’t.
As such, our conference team look to have done the business on a series of upcoming events. First up we have the Independent Law Firms Forum on 17 March, our main event for leading indies across the globe. Speakers this year include Magisters’ Dimitri Dyakin, PLMJ’s Manuel Santos Vitor, Werksmans’ Des Williams, King & Wood’s Susan Ning and Nishith Desai of Nishith Desai Associates.
