Connecting in Kissimmee ... See You in Seattle 

LA’s Annual Conference was back in full force in person in Kissimmee, Florida. Members gathered May 15–18 for four days of education, networking, making connections with business partners in the Exhibit Hall and just having fun.

Even though we just wrapped up the festivities in Kissimmee, planning is already underway for the 2023 Annual Conference & Expo in Seattle, Washington. Join us in the Emerald City, May 7–10, for more opportunities to keep you connected to all things legal management.

More details will be arriving in your inbox soon, but if you already know you don’t want to miss out, you can register now.


Contribute to the Legal Management Community's Compensation Knowledge

The 2022 Compensation and Benefits Survey and its companion, the 2022 Large Firm Key Staff Compensation Survey, are now open for participation. These surveys provide comprehensive information on law firm salaries, benefits, staffing ratios and turnover. Your participation is crucial to making the report a success. When you complete the survey, you’re contributing to a more comprehensive and detailed data set that can provide your office the edge it needs to stay competitive, especially in the realms of recruitment and retention.
