Who Are We?

Join us for a fun evening of spirit tasting and hear an update of the results of the ALPMA 2018 Salary Survey.  These results will shed light on key HR issues expected to be faced by Law Firms in the coming year. 

The ALPMA Legal Industry Salary & HR Issues survey provides comprehensive, independent data on actual salaries paid for up to 65+ legal, management and support roles at Australian and New Zealand law firms so that you can compare your compensation strategy with like firms. As well as covering the current issues in HR, benefits, bonuses, staffing profiles, salary data, anticipated salary increases and recruitment intentions, this year’s survey was expanded to include more information on bonuses paid and parental leave. 

After Action Reviews (AARs) are structured debriefs where project team members discuss what worked, what didn't work and what should be done next time. Pioneered by the US military, and now used by many corporations and NGOs, the application of AARs in law firms remains limited, with just 15% of firms undertaking regular AARs. 

This session examines the case for AARs as a powerful tool to improve productivity, collaboration and innovation. We'll also share how to make them work in your firm, including overcoming cultural barriers.

Daniel Yin is back to present an update on performance, development and reward considerations in the legal profession. 

Hear ALPMA Summit keynote speaker Joel Barolsky's predictions for the legal market in 2022, where the market is headed and likely winners and losers. Discover what your firm could and should be doing to compete more effectively in this complex and changing environment.

Joel uses hard evidence from the latest Thomson Reuters Peer Monitor data to explore the major trends, challenges and opportunities open to small, focus and boutique Australian firms. 

He complements his analysis with case studies showcasing law firm innovation. 

Don't miss this opportunity to hear from a recognised thought leader on strategy within law firms.
