Time: 12.30PM-1.30PM
Venue: Level 12/276 Flinders St, Melbourne VIC 3000
In today’s legal sector, retaining top talent requires more than promotions or pay rises. For law firms, learning and development (L&D) is a vital tool to keep people engaged, especially when roles remain static or traditional career pathways slow. This session is designed for leaders working in law firms who want to use L&D to drive long-term engagement, reinvigorate staff who have “topped out,” and build a culture where learning supports retention.
Key session takeaways:
• How to use L&D to retain high performers and support career growth without promotion
• Practical ways to create personalised development pathways
• Ideas for embedding learning into everyday work
• Coaching, mentoring and peer-learning models that boost connection and confidence
• Common L&D pitfalls and how to avoid them
This session will provide practical, ready-to-apply strategies tailored to the realities of legal workplaces.
