From 11–13 June 2025, our Managing Partner Orkun Özkan attended the Lex Mundi Managing Partners Conference in Barcelona, an exceptional gathering that brought together law firm leaders from around the world. The event focused on the future of legal practice, innovation, and leadership—key themes that continue to shape our profession.

The programme featured thought-provoking sessions, including:

AI in Legal Business – A keynote and workshop by David Restrepo Amariles (HEC Paris) on the trajectory of AI adoption in law and how firms can prepare for transformation.
Competitive Advantage Accelerator (CAA) – A framework presented by Prof. Michael Smets (Saïd Business School, Oxford), offering practical insights into sustaining growth in law firms.
Global Economic Outlook – A macro perspective from Tom Rafferty (The Economist Intelligence Unit) on geopolitical shifts, diversification strategies, and emerging opportunities for the legal industry.

Beyond the sessions, the conference was a valuable chance to connect with managing partners and firm leaders from across jurisdictions. The conversations around innovation, leadership, and client impact highlighted just how dynamic and interconnected today’s legal ecosystem has become.

We extend our thanks to Helena Samaha and the Lex Mundi team for organising a world-class conference and creating space for meaningful dialogue across regions, sectors, and leadership styles.
