Beyond Slogans - Bringing Organisational Values to Life

Introduction

In a rapidly evolving professional landscape where culture, conduct, and credibility are under more scrutiny than ever, this new virtual classroom seminar explores how clearly defined and consistently demonstrated values are no longer a ‘nice to have’ but a business-critical imperative.

With regulators, clients, and employees alike demanding greater integrity and alignment between stated values and actual behaviours, firms that fail to embed these principles risk reputational damage, talent attrition, and ethical lapses.

This highly practical session offers delegates the latest insights - including recent developments in legal and regulatory expectations around culture and leadership - alongside real-world strategies for bringing values to life at every level.

Designed for law firm leaders and senior managers, the focus of this course is on those with leadership accountability. Whether you are leading a team, shaping firm-wide culture, or navigating day-to-day dilemmas, you will leave with actionable tools, proven frameworks, and answers to the common (and complex) questions around driving consistency, measuring success, and role-modelling values in practice.

This is not about slogans or posters on the wall - it is about performance, people, and long-term resilience.
