On 22 September The Future of Law Firm Management Conference organized by IBA CEE Conference was held in Bucharest.
Robert Gawałkiewicz joined the Law Firm Management Conference and acted as a moderator on the panel “Legal M&A – do law firms need to get bigger and bigger or can small still be beautiful?”
Together, Jens-Hendrik Janzen, Martin Kriz, Madalina Rachieru-Postolache, and Markus Bruckmueller discussed current trends and challenges in legal M&A and whether size matters for law firms in a competitive market.
- Is the current consolidation trend irreversible?
- Will the market gravitate, in the long run, towards larger and larger law firms, or is there still room for different models?
- Mergers, team hires, individual lateral hiring – what works best?
