Seyfarth chair and managing partner Lorie Almon was extensively quoted by Law360 in its article, “3 Things That Have Surprised Firm Leaders So Far In 2024.” Almon discussed how the proliferation and widespread availability of #GenAI models, such as #ChatGPT, have prompted the legal industry to reconsider how attorneys practice law; a strategic approach to lateral partner hires; and the high demand for support that clients need on cultural flashpoints (cultural and political issues in the workplace). "We'll continue to be laser-focused on the voice of our clients and making sure that we're hearing what they need from us, because they are also living in this uncertain, volatile, unpredictable environment. So we want to make sure that we are meeting their needs and anticipating their needs.” #TeamSeyfarth https://ow.ly/W2NK50SCsci
