Speaker: Stepan Holub, Holubová advokáti (Czech Republic)

Keynote speaker: Thomas Bourne, Greenheart (UK)

Keynote speaker Thomas Bourne – strategic business & commercial consultant – will explore in a very practical way how lawyers can empathise with the commercial decisions of their clients. In return, this will enable them to deliver more targeted and relevant advice and build stronger relationships that last. Lawyers need to be able to answer questions such as: ‘What does this business stand for?‘ to ensure that their advice doesn’t conflict with the company’s fundamental purpose, values and objectives.

Keynote speaker:  Marion Ehmann, Kimeru (Sweden)

Have you ever heard of the ‘cone of uncertainty’, the ‘planning fallacy’, the ‘MoSCoW method’, the ‘WWW-H in the mirror’, the bandwagon effect, or Kanban boards and what they have to do with lawyers? Well, here is your chance! In this practical workshop keynote speaker Marion Ehmann – IILPM-certified Legal Project Practitioner and LPM trainer – will explain what LPM and legal design are. She will present LPM tools for success in a rapidly changing legal market where fixed budgets are (becoming) the norm and a strong focus on the needs of the client is a must.
