  • Is the business model of major commercial law firms sufficiently agile to respond adequately to the changing market and client demand?
  • How will current market challenges influence the size, shape, structure and location of future firms?
  • What alternative governance models should be explored? Should law firms be managed at all?
  • What can the legal sector learn from the 'big bang' experiences of other professional services industry sectors?
  • How is client demand changing in regard to issues such as hourly billing and fee earner remuneration?
  • How can large-scale cultural change within firms be managed effectively?
