Retreats let firms face themselves #law

A retreat allows attorneys (either including or excluding associates) to meet for an extended period of time away from the office and the daily pressures of business to discuss issues concerning the firm and developments in areas of the law and trends in the firm's practice in light of these developments. Many firms consider specific problems, while other firms conduct retreats to identify goals and reach consensus on them.
