BEST LAWYERSADVISORY BOARD MEETINGMAY 11 and 12, 2016

Bringing together the distinguished

members of the Best Lawyers

Advisory Board for discussions about

management of law firms and

in-house legal departments.

Welcome to the 2016 Best Lawyers Advisory

Board Meeting. We are so pleased you are

able to join us for the gathering of this unique group

of the world’s preeminent law firm leaders and

general counsel—a complete membership list appears

in this brochure.

For those arriving early May 11, Best Lawyers has

organized a special viewing of Sylvia by the American

Ballet Theatre at the Metropolitan Opera House at

Lincoln Center. This showing of Sylvia will feature

company leads Isabella Boylston, Alban Lendorf, and

Danill Simkin. The performance will be preceded

by a discussion about the ballet and followed by a

backstage tour of the opera house.

The same evening, Best Lawyers will host a dinner

where board members can see old friends and meet

new ones.

The board meeting will take place May 12 at the

offices of Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP. The meeting

will focus on the challenges faced by law firm leaders

and general counsel in our current economic climate.

The meeting will feature a keynote address by Linda

Klein, the incoming president of the American Bar

Association, followed by a panel discussion chaired

by former ABA president Carolyn Lamm on the

globalization of the market for legal services and the

impact of lawyer regulation worldwide.

It is my pleasure to host this distinguished group, and

I hope you enjoy the meeting. Thank you for your
