Testimonials
“The Forum creates a relaxed and trusting environment in which senior individuals feel able to openly discuss the issues that confront them. High quality speakers and worthwhile subjects that persuade busy senior people to give up time.”
“I work closely with the Forum in my role as co-chair of the Professional & Business Services Council, and find its ability to mobilise its members quickly, whilst representing the views of both large and small professional services firms, invaluable.”
“I have been a member of the Forum for the whole of my 12 year run as Managing Partner and now CEO of Lewis Silkin. Membership has provided me with a great deal of useful networking and personal development activity, plus some fun and good memories along the way.”
“The greatest benefit I get from the Forum is having the exposure to new thinking, new ideas and new solutions to the challenges we all face as fellow professionals.”
“For Nordic NewLaw pioneer Fondia, the Forum has been an invaluable meeting point for ambitious industry players seeking to evolve to the next level of the legal industry.”
“I had often heard the phrase, ‘when the ones at the top look after everybody else, who looks after the ones at the top?’ I hadn’t though really recognised this until I joined the Forum! The support, comradeship and sounding board the network provides is exactly what we all need! I would encourage anyone wondering, to take the plunge and join! It will open your mind to a different way of thinking I am sure!”
“Our involvement with the Forum gives us access to the latest strategic thinking within the sector, which is invaluable in this changing world in which we operate.”
“I have been a member for over 15 years and have always found Forum events stimulating and thought provoking. They are great for learning and sharing.”
“There is simply no substitute for the opportunity to share and learn from the experience of peers from across the professional services industry. The Forum enables this, whilst providing a steady stream of ideas and challenge in our rapidly changing world.”
“The Forum offers those of us in the New Law space not just a sounding board but, in its Board Briefings, some fantastically well-curated content – time-saving and thought-provoking in equal measure.”
“At a time of profound economic, social and geopolitical challenge, the Forum harvests the collective experience and wisdom of today’s leaders and critical thinkers in professional services.”
