Legal Week is delighted to announce the launch of its first Financial
Directors Roundtable, which will take place on 30 September 2010 at the Chancery
Court Hotel, London. This breakfast roundtable is specifically designed for law
firm financial directors and chief financial officers. It will allow them to
discuss the particular challenges associated with their roles and share ideas
about how to surmount them.
Law firms are continuing to keep a watchful eye on liquidity, spending and
billing. But while cost control remains at the top of the agenda for most
management teams, the credit crunch has also presented the best-positioned firms
with the opportunity to improve their market position. This roundtable will
assess how finance directors are responding to the heavy demands being placed on
them by their firms and encourage delegates to share their experiences with
their peers.
**RELATED EVENT OFFER** - Register to attend the Legal Week Financial
Directors Roundtable and Legal Week will offer a COMPLIMENTARY conference pass
to the Financial Director Summit, taking place on 16-17 September 2010 at the
Four Seasons Hotel, Hampshire -

Money is on the move, making it more complex for private client lawyers to
advise on the structuring and retention of wealth. Chaired by Henry Christensen
III, Legal Week Private Client Europe will equip senior private client lawyers
from around the world with practical advice on how best to counsel high net
worth individuals in a new economic and regulatory era.

Treasury Department, a management workshop led by Claire Maurice, senior partner
of Maurice Turnor Gardner and a roleplay led by Shân Warnock-Smith QC.
Throughout the conference there will be a series of panel debates and breakout
sessions that address key issues associated with the globalisation of private
wealth. Panel discussions include: ‘Where’s the new money’; ‘Arrivals and
departures – practical requirements for leaving one country and going to
another’; and ‘Low tax – the way forward?’ – a look at how both onshore and
offshore jurisdictions are competing to attract private wealth.
The conference will also feature a series of more intimate breakout sessions
that will take advantage of this forum’s unique ability to bring together the
world’s best private client lawyers in one place to discuss the latest
developments in private client law and practice. Networking is a key feature of
this conference, which takes place over three days at the famous Villa d’Este
hotel on the shores of Lake Como.
