SUMMARY:Working Lunch - Coaching Through Transitions: Leading Managing Partners\, Lateral Moves & the AI-Era Firm

Drawing on his work coaching managing partners\, GCs\, and senior partners through the most consequential transitions of their careers\, David walks through the coaching frameworks that actually move leaders forward: coaching yourself and your peers through the AI-era identity shift every senior lawyer is quietly wrestling with\, succession planning that doesn't&nbsp\;blow up&nbsp\;partnership dynamics\, and having the hard conversations with underperforming partners. Practical\, candid\, and built for the room — leave with a coaching toolkit you can use the moment you're back at the firm\, and a sharper view of how to lead yourself and your partners through whatever 2026 brings next.
