TAG Alliances recently held its fourth Managing Partner Summit in Chicago, Illinois. A diverse and talented group of law firm and accounting firm leaders from around the world spent two days sharing their experience and best practices in firm leadership, management and administration. The Summit was facilitated by Allan Koltin, a long-time advisor and consultant to top professional services firms, who also presented a keynote address outlining best practices in firm leadership.
“This is a very unique event, because it brings together leaders from different professions and a range of firm sizes,” said Allan Koltin. “Seeing issues and solutions from different perspectives is an effective way to grow as a leader. It also helps that the TAG Alliances is a collection of some of the best law and accounting firms in the professions.”
“The Managing Partner Summit was a dynamic event where our firm leaders developed new relationships amongst their peers from different markets and disciplines,” said Richard Attisha, President & CEO of the TAG Alliances. “This platform will allow for on-going collaborative conversations and the sharing of best practices and firm management strategies.”
Issues and strategies that were discussed at the Summit included:
- Firm growth;
- Talent (recruiting, retaining and reaching potential);
