A great Leadership Conference. The MPIEs always excel.
I look forward to this Conference every year. It really helps me to be a more effective firm leader.
A very organized and well-run conference. Great food. Great hospitality.
Thank you for allowing me to participate. Your team is masterful at making all feel valued at your event and I dare say helping attendees see the value in attending.
Thank you for the invite to speak on the Managing Partner panel. Even though I have now attended 7 MPFs, I always bring back substantive and helpful information for my partners.
Hands down the best leadership conference for managing partners I've ever attended.
I highly recommend the MPF Leadership Conference. I've participated many times, as have several of my partners. We leave with new ideas and fresh perspectives every time.
I thoroughly enjoyed participating in this year's Conference. Thank you for your enthusiasm and leadership.
Thank you for what you do for our industry. I go to a lot of conferences, and your event is the one I look forward to and gain the most from each year.
Thank you for putting on another outstanding MPF Conference. I came away, once again, feeling reassured and encouraged.

I’ve known of Gerry Riskin for many years and finally had the opportunity to hear him speak at the ABA Annual Conference in 2009. I bought his book – The Successful Lawyer ($74.95, American Bar Association) – at the time and just now finished reading it. We encourage all lawyers in private practice to check it out , as well. It covers many subjects – from planning, to marketing, to finance – and it’s highly practical. It’s comes in CD format, too.

If we could only recommend one book to a lawyer in private practice, it would be True Professionalism ($26, Simon & Schuster)!

The challenge for leaders is to find the strength and courage to do what we know is right. A must read.
