Mackrell International are proud to launch two new initiatives for members looking to 'think outside the box' and 'be creative and innovative' in an environment not usually known for 'experimental and imaginative'
Up first: A MEETING OF THE SMALL BUT MIGHTY - 31st March
One of the wonders of the Mackrell International family is that we are not just richly multi-cultural, but we are all different ‘shapes and sizes’ (I’m talking law firms, not individuals!). Often, our smaller firms and our smaller jurisdictions have to battle that bit harder, be a bit more entrepreneurial and work with less – though there are always upsides to having a smaller team.
This meeting will bring member firms together to:
• connect
• look at opportunities
• share challenges and also ideas
• highlight how we do things differently
• help each other out
• see how MI can support you.
Rasem Kamal from Kamal & Associates in Palestine has also kindly agreed to share his experience and his presentation on ‘How to win business when you’re smaller’, which he has previously presented on various IBA forums.
Followed by: MI LAWYERS - OUR OWN IN-HOUSE ENTREPRENEURS - 13th April
From conversations with Managing Partners and MI Main Contacts around the world, a number of firms are taking a ‘creative’ and entrepreneurial approach to developing business, both locally and cross-jurisdictionally.
Sometimes, that can be as simple as working trade associations and embassies, sometimes it’s by creating cross-industry alliances or partnerships with recruitment agencies or venture capital firms, or by targeting global personnel movements, immigration and investment.
So we will hold a quarterly meeting of MI ‘entrepreneurs’ and creative business thinkers to:
• share what they are doing
• seek opportunities
• swap ideas
• potentially create partnerships and business initiatives
