One goal is to provide attendees with insights into their own practices that can help them remain competitive and profitable in the rapidly changing marketplace for intellectual property services.
Session moderator, Louis Lagler, Vice President of FICPI's Practice Management Committee, and Partner at Rentsch Partner Ltd in Switzerland, explains:
"This important session, "Sustainable profitability in IP firms", will introduce concepts, tools, and methods for sustainable profitability in fast-changing and disruptive legal markets, specifically relating to their applicability in intellectual property practice. This will include an examination of how the economic forces and profitability drivers can vary significantly among intellectual property subspecialties within the same firm or practice group, with special impacts on pricing levels, structures, and strategies.
"We will also investigate together a case study to demonstrate how to diagnose profitability issues and develop sustainable improvements in an intellectual property practice."
Who is the profitability expert?
Louis Lagler will be joined by Norman Clark, an informative and engaging speaker whose insights are not to be missed.
