TAGLaw®, one of the world’s leading law firm alliances, conducted its 27th international conference on October 22nd to 24th at The Conrad Hotel in Brussels.

In addition to hearing from Van Dessel, TAGLaw members discussed a number of important topics related to international law and legal practice management.  One of the most anticipated sessions at this conference was Deepak Malhotra’s talk on identifying leaders among lawyers.  “As Deepak is both a lawyer and now on the leadership team of a major international corporation, our members are excited to hear about the talents he sees as necessary to lead their firms forward,” said Bob Sattin, TAGLaw’s president, “This information is particularly valuable, since succession planning is one of the most important topics for high-quality law firms throughout the world.” Other sessions at the TAGLaw conference included:
