anter Professional Management sponsors two conferences annually. Both of these conference involve a high degree of participation by registrants, who must be partners in their law firms.
Kanter Large Law Firm Lawyer Recruitment
Conference. This conference has been held annually in Chicago
in late April or early May since 1987. Hiring partners and other
partners on hiring committees from firms with more than 150 lawyers
are eligible to attend. Participating firms provide detailed statistical
information on their recruiting results to Kanter Professional Management,
which prepares a confidential report based on these statistics that
does not identify the results of any specific firm. These statistics
allow registrants to compare their results with other large law
firms around the country. Eligible firms who wish to register
should contact Kanter Professional Management.
Kanter Hiring Partner/Associate Issues Conference.
This conference has been limited to twenty large law firms from
around the country and has been held each February since 1984 at locations
that rotate between the East and West Coasts and New Orleans. Half
of the conference deals with recruitment of lawyers and half deals
with associate issues, with most firms sending different partner
representatives to the two halves of the conference. The conference
extends for five days, with a break over the weekend. Attendance
is by invitation, with almost every spot filled by attendees at
the prior year's conference. Interested firms are invited to contact
Kanter Professional Management.
