The Managing Partner Forum is a go-to resource for not only what’s currently important to law firm leaders, but how law firm leaders are dealing with the issue of the moment and preparing for those of the future.
We have enjoyed working with John Remsen and his talented team. The Managing Partner Forum provides excellent content that truly assists in operating a successful business in today’s challenging environment.
The MPF programs always provide relevant, timely educational content. They are high energy and interactive which makes them fun to attend, too.
Great conference, thank you for the invitation.
The information sharing at the MPIEs is especially valuable.
My partner and I really enjoyed the conference and we look forward to attending again next year.
Connecting with other firm leaders, as it felt more like a ‘retreat’ than a ‘conference.’ Fantastic format allowed for great information and advice sharing.
I go to a lot of conferences, and your event is the one I look forward to and gain the most from each year. The power of this group is incredible. So privileged to be a part of it. Thank you for what you do for our industry.

ATL was a great time, and I really enjoyed the conference, as always.
That was my first experience at the conference, and it was tremendously valuable.
Great job! Keep it going. Thank you for the excellent work you do for the profession.
The collegiality and brainstorming opportunities can’t be beat.
The MPF Conference is always a great event. The MPIEs and Workshops were really good this year.
The program topics are timely and well presented. Every time I attend, I learn something new.
MPF is on top of the issues facing firm leaders, often before we even see them coming in our own firms, and provides timely advice from industry experts to see us through them.
I highly recommend the MPF Leadership Conference. I’ve participated many times, as have several of my partners. We leave with new ideas and fresh perspectives every time.
Hands down the best leadership conference for managing partners I’ve ever attended.
This is my 12th or 13th time attending, and it’s always the best conference I attend every year.
The MPIEs are interesting, informative and very useful!
I look forward to this Conference every year. It really helps me to be a more effective firm leader.
MPF provides tremendous value and excellent resources. Great information. Great speakers. Great networking opportunities.
Many vendors and consultants to the legal industry publish self-serving articles and White Papers as part of their marketing programs. In many cases, however, they’re little more than poorly disguised sales brochures promoting products and services they offer law firms. But this one is solid. It’s well-researched and chocked full of expert opinions on how technology has impacted lawyers and law firms.
Your law firm runs on computers and, over time, your firm’s IT systems become outdated and security risks develop. Therefore, it’s critical that your firm undertakes a periodic evaluation and examination, so make sure all systems are working properly and risks are not left unchecked for extended periods of time.
In many cases, you’re relying on your COO, your IT Director and/or your outside service provider to manage the situation. However, that reliance does not replace your ownership of this responsibility. As the firm’s chief executive officer, you are the person ultimately responsible to ensure that the IT systems and controls are aligned with the firm’s goals and legal requirements and are being managed, maintained, updated and kept current.
This short article, written especially for managing partners, outlines what an IT audit covers and the questions you should be asking your COO and/or IT Director on a regular basis.
This article maintains that the managing partner must take the helm as the true owner of the law firm’s cybersecurity. We agree. Unfortunately, many firm leaders view it as an “IT issue.” Judy and Deena write that cybersecurity requires a broad-based approach that exceeds the reach and capabilities of the IT department, and that the managing partner is the best person to set the tone and require that cybersecurity become a firm-wide priority. Here are the steps to begin:
Is your firm prepared?
Your firm’s case management system is the backbone of your organization. Whether you use it to calendar deadlines and court dates for your litigation practice or to track your firm’s experience in a particular area of law, you can’t afford to overlook this important tool. Here’s an unbiased primer to guide you from selection to training and implementation.
Should your firm outsource its IT department? As the first sentence of this article reveals, the decision can be a real pain. Better inform your decision by taking an honest assessment of how your much technology your firm is currently using and how many people are using it. This read will help you consider all the options.
