Think Tank series
A series of intimate, invitation-only workshops gathers leaders from diverse industries to analyse, discuss, and collaboratively devise tailored solutions for complex challenges confronting the legal sector.
“Rethink, Reevaluate, Redo? Navigating recruitment and retention challenges in the legal profession”
In May, the Centre for the Future of the Legal Profession hosted its inaugural invite-only Think Tank workshop concentrating on recruitment and retention within law firms.
Participants from leading law firms engaged in idea-generating activities designed to think beyond the survey response to the core issues.
The workshop was structure into three sessions:
Session 1: Current state of play
This session encouraged participants to examine the balance between recruitment and retention, exploring why some lawyers transition or leave roles while others remain.
Session 2: Impact
Participants reflected on the short- and long-term effects of retention challenges, identifying and evaluating effective retention strategies.
Session 3: Mitigation
This session focused on potential solutions, considering both immediate and long-term approaches.
The Centre is currently compiling a report on the Think Tank’s findings, which will be distributed exclusively to attendees. A high-level summary will be made available to the public.
