PSMG Events Calendar

Here is a selection of our upcoming events. We are adding to our programme all the time so please check the website for the latest news.

We don’t need to rehearse the reasons why our calendar of events hasn’t been looking itself of late. We hope many of you have enjoyed our programme of webinars over the past year but, like you, we know that once the “novelty” wears off there really is no substitute for simply getting in a room with fellow professionals. We’re keeping a close eye on what we’re doing with our events and, of course, in parallel with social distancing guidelines. As things are constantly changing (for all of us), do please keep an eye on the Events page of our website.

Lessons Learned in the Pandemic

January 27, 2021  • 10:00 - 11:00 • WEBINAR

Host: Robus Consulting and Legal Marketing All businesses have had to adapt during the global pandemic, including professional services firms -- a sector notoriously resistant to change. Our panel of experts will discuss a number of the changes provoked by the pandemic and discuss which are temporary, which might be permanent, and the implications for marketing and business development professionals.

The session will cover topics related to organisational culture, remote working, the rise of technology, team collaboration, and renewed priorities of leaders and managers.

Presenters: Philip Rodney of Rimalower Consulting and Tim Corcoran of Corcoran Consulting Group, LLC

Philip and Tim will also discuss: • What has worked and what hasn't worked • What is likely to revert to normal and what is likely to stay.

Please come prepared with your own questions, as the panellists will endeavour to approach this as an interactive discussion.

Innovation in a risk averse environment

January 28, 2021  • 12:00 - 13:00 • WEBINAR

Host: Simmons & Simmons Lawyers, accountants and actuaries are all trained from an early age to be risk averse. The most innovative firms in the world have a culture where failing fast is a regular part of business and a move into new and unchartered (risky) territory can be seen as a competitive advantage. 

This juxtaposition presents challenges in establishing an innovation mindset within a law firm. What are the incentives for thinking about things differently? How do you encourage trial and error when every six minutes needs to be accounted for? What approaches can be adopted to challenge the accepted way of doing things? 

Join Lee Curtis, head of sales, and Sam Stamp, head of new business at Simmons & Simmons, who will share their thoughts on these challenges and the approaches they are taking to foster an innovation mindset within their firm.

PSMG 24th Annual Conference: "Back to the Future: Re-shaping your firm's culture"

March 24 and 25, 2021 • A VIRTUAL EVENT

In light of on-going events, our annual conference will be presented virtually and divided into two half-day sessions.

The world of business is shifting as never before. But so too is the way in which we choose to work.  Our sector continues to experience unprecedented speeds of change with mounting pressure from all directions - clients and partners, new technologies, and disruptors offering new business models that break from our traditional ways of working. 

At the heart of this is the new generation of professionals, within your own firm and those of your clients, who will be the most demanding yet, with the expectation of diversity on many fronts: people, career development, workplace, technology and well-being.

The future of professional services is undergoing a seismic change and the role of firm culture will be more significant than ever. 

How can we, in marketing and business development, be instrumental in driving the direction of cultural change so often needed within our firms, and develop the skills required. We must now position ourselves to be at the forefront and integral to the fast-paced changes affecting our sector.

Join us for insights, opinions, comments and thought-provoking debate from some of the most informed and inspired voices in professional services.

Salespeople? In a law firm? Whatever next!

March 30, 2021  • 12:00 - 13:00 • WEBINAR

Host: Simmons & Simmons

The word “sales” evokes a range of emotions. Within the legal industry it is often considered an activity undertaken by other industries and something beneath the esteemed legal profession. As a result, the sales mentality, tools and infrastructure in place across the legal industry is woefully inadequate.

With the entry of new players into the legal market and the proliferation of more commoditised legal services it is clear that this situation has to change. 

Join Lee Curtis, head of sales at Simmons & Simmons, for a discussion on his new role in establishing a sales culture and the opportunities and challenges this brings.
