The Lawyer Who Fished With the Oracle at Delphi
by Jay Reeves

A new year is the time for looking forward to a brighter future, but it might be more useful to look back at how we got into this mess in the first place.
 
That can be hard to do.

In case you haven't heard, registration is now open for the 2019 Managing Partners Summit! The Managing Partners Summit was designed to promote learning and opportunities for law firm leaders to build more profitable and sustainable law firms.
 
Last year, leaders from 64 law firms across the state gathered at the North Carolina State Bar headquarters for a day of interactive learning and networking.    
 

2018 was an exciting year of transition for Lawyers Mutual. We launched two subsidiaries, Lawyers Mutual Consulting and Services and LM Title Agency, LLC and welcomed several new team members. Among the new faces of Lawyers Mutual is Claims Counsel Uta Zacharias.
 
We are equally excited to welcome the newest members of our policy team; Juan Sosa and Sara Valentine.
