To bring together the distinguished members of the Best Lawyers Advisory Board

for discussions about management of law firms and

in-house legal departmentsEMarch 27-28, 2012

The Best Lawyers Advisory Board will meet in New York City on March 28th, 2012. If possible, please save the date for the inaugural gathering of this unique group of the world’s most preeminent law firm leaders and general counsel (a complete membership list appears in this brochure.)

The opening meeting will be chaired by H. Rodgin Cohen of Sullivan & Cromwell LLP and will be held in the boardroom of Cravath, Swaine & Moore LLP. It will focus on the challenges faced by law firm leaders and general counsel in an era of economic uncertainty.

On the afternoon of the 28th, a variety of one-hour breakout sessions will provide both world-class expertise on subjects of particular interest to you, and additional opportunities to meet your counterparts from all across the globe.

For early-arrivers, Best Lawyers has organized a special museum tour of the Post-Impressionist paintings at the Metropolitan Museum of Art the afternoon of March 27th. This will be followed by a private event at the world-famous Juilliard School featuring some of the School’s most talented young artists.

That same evening, Best Lawyers will host a dinner designed to maximize the opportunities for Board members to meet and mingle at the highest international level. Afterwards, there will be a concert celebrating jazz artist Ron Carter’s 75th birthday, featuring Herbie Hancock and other jazz greats which will take place on March 27th.

I hope to see you in March.
