9:05 | Show Me the Money
From the moment we begin our legal careers, we understand that becoming an equity partner is a goal. Yet, we are rarely told exactly what an equity partner is and why we would want to be one. In this kickoff presentation, equity partners will discuss what that status really means, provide insight into how they achieved profitability and success and reveal what they look for in up-and-coming attorneys. -

10:30 | Tips to Navigating Difficult Conversations about Pay

1:15 | Branching Out – Why You Should Leave Your Comfort Zone Inside and Outside the Office, and How to Do It
We all prefer to stay in our bubbles, but doing so can stunt our ability to meet new people, make connections and get more business. Learn the importance of branching out - from moving practice groups, starting a new firm, moving to a new job or joining an organization outside of the office - and how bursting that bubble can lead to greater success. -
