Is Your Firm Prepared for the Financial Year Ahead? Key Trends & Challenges for Professional Services Firms in 2023/4: PPA Webinar – 25 May 2023

In this webinar, our panel of expert speakers will discuss the following issues:

• How can firms pivot and retrench if a flagship strategy such as a merger or restructuring (e.g. the EY demerger) fails to get off the ground?
   
• Cash crunch at a time of stalled economic growth, inflation, cost of living crisis and basis period reform – how can firms remain profitable and improve cash flow?
   
• Impact of hybrid working – can productivity and culture be maintained in the long-term?
   
• Key regulatory changes to watch out and prepare for
   
• A passage to India: will (and should) the long-awaited liberalisation of the Indian legal market affect the international strategy of UK and international firms?
   
• ChatGPT – can it be harnessed to improve service delivery (and profitability) or does it really spell the end of lawyers?
