Please join the Mile High Chapter Education Committee at our monthly luncheon on Thursday, November 17th when Derek Barto will present on Retention and Compensation in the Legal Industry. 

Since the beginning of the Pandemic, the United States has experienced some of the most drastic changes to the labor force on record.  The effects on the legal industry have been some of the most prominent with a high demand for lawyers, compensation levels at all-time highs and remote work strategies taking a top priority in many firms across the nation.  Derek Barto, Partner in Armanino’s Law Firm Services Group will lead this discussion on the challenges law firms are facing and strategies being used to address compensation and employee retention challenges in law firms.

This session will provide attendees with an in depth knowledge of the challenges that law firms are facing around compensation and retention in the legal industry.  This includes:

- a review of the current compensation landscape along with historical trends,

- a discussion around the impact rising compensation levels has had on employee retention and

- insights on how law firms are responding to extraordinary changes in these areas.
