Managing Partners Roundtable

A peer group for Managing Partners to exchange ideas, referrals, and discuss practical solutions to shared challenges.

Lead with Confidence 

Leading a law firm is a uniquely complex role. The Managing Partner Roundtable (MPR) was created as a trusted space for managing partners of midsize and super-regional firms to collaborate, share, and lead with confidence. In smaller, focused groups, MPR fosters honest dialogue and bold ideas that transform leaders and the firms they guide. 

  • MPR equips managing partners to:

    • Navigate Complexity: Gain insights to effectively manage the multifaceted nature of firm leadership. 

    • Strategize for Success: Develop plans that ensure sustainable growth and innovation. 

    • Build Trusted Relationships: Connect with peers who share the unique challenges of managing a law firm. 

  • MPR is an invitation-only network of managing partners from midsize and super-regional firms across North America. 

    Benefits include: 

    • A Safe Space for Dialogue: Share openly with peers who understand your role. 

    • Strategic Insights: Develop strategies informed by the experiences of others. 

    • Enduring Relationships: Build connections that extend far beyond the Roundtable.

  • Annual Retreat: A 1.5-day event featuring small group discussions, strategic workshops, and impactful networking opportunities.
