The Partner Forum is an important opportunity in the firm’s calendar for you as Partners to convene, connect and collaborate.  

It’s a time for exploring with curiosity the challenges and opportunities posed by the emerging and constantly changing conditions in which we and our clients operate. 

Join us for these two days to listen, learn and interact with our keynote speakers, clients and one another as together, we engage with and respond to the firm’s strategic priorities.
