Once again, we had the privilege of meeting with prominent law firms from around the globe to discuss topical issues at the IBA 2020 – Virtually Together Annual Conference. The year 2020 was indeed unusual, presenting new challenges and requiring innovative solutions. In spite of that, we did not want 2020 to be a ‘gap year’ from the much valued meetings and discussions. We are extremely thankful about all the virtual meetings we had the opportunity to have with our colleagues from across the globe.

In addition to important updates from different law firms and the legal market in general, we focused on the following main areas in our discussions:

• What are the three key growth/emphasis areas for your firm?
• What progress, either technology- or innovation-related, will you take with you from this year?

We had so many intriguing discussions in the course of the virtual IBA conference that we want to share some of our key observations with you as well. A summary of our thoughts can be found here.
