FELLOWS SPEAKERS NEEDED: Bethesda, MD - November 1, 2017
Are you a law firm partner that has built your book of business in a unique or unusual way? Or, maybe you built your book in the usual way? Either way, we want to hear from partners that have been in the partnership for more than 5 years and would be open to sharing their best advice for building a strong book of business with other Fellows. The panel presentation will take place during the second meeting of the Sustainable Partnerships program, a program designed by LCLD Members Fannie Mae, Scripps, and Lockheed Martin to help law firm Fellows that are new to partnership to build the networks and skills essential to growing a strong book of business.
