Featured Sessions

We believe in change. That’s why we have chosen to focus on Inclusion & Diversity and Sustainability as the key themes for our annual event.

Inclusion & Diversity: An In-House Counsel Perspective

The global focus on inclusion and diversity has never been higher, and it is increasingly important to talented individuals to work within a culture in which everyone feels included and diversity is celebrated. Multilaw’s inaugural Inclusion & Diversity panel will give us an opportunity to hear from in-house counsel in global organisations (all of whom are Multilaw alumni) on the value placed by their organisations on these issues, successful strategies they have seen and personal perspectives.

ESG, Social Impact & Sustainability: A Global Responsibility AND a Business Opportunity for Law Firms

Join us for this one-hour virtual workshop to gain an understanding of the rapidly growing stakeholder expectations of your firm's Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) practices, policies and programmes. The global ESG movement is certainly an obligation for your firm - but also presents an opportunity to serve your clients. We will cover all this and more in this important discussion.
