When leaders of a firm come together for an event as dynamic and impactful as a partner conference, it’s crucial to document the energy, key moments, and shared vision. That’s why Thought Thread had the privilege of capturing BCLP’s Partner Conference in Miami earlier this year. Thought Thread was on-site for three days, filming everything from keynotes and breakout sessions to important candid moments between partners. We created next-day recap videos that opened the conference each day, instantly bringing everyone back into the action and setting the tone for the day ahead. A well-executed recap video reflects the firm’s culture and leadership and preserves the ideas and insights shared during the event. It allows the conversation to continue long after the conference ends, fostering stronger connections and alignment across the firm. If you’re considering how to elevate your next conference or event, a professionally produced recap video is the perfect way to engage your team and keep the momentum going. #LegalMarketing #PartnerConference #VideoProduction #EventRecap #ThoughtThread #BCLP #LawFirmLeadership

PROMISING SIGNS IN THE MARKET!! The hiring market is improving. This is evidenced by the increased number of clients requesting our assistance on critical hiring in Legal, Regulatory and Compliance that has resulted in Larson Maddox achieving another record month of placements and revenue across the US in April and May! Every sign is pointing to this continuing in June and throughout the summer as client sentiment and commitment to rebuilding and growing their teams, in addition to some attrition losses has increased the appetite to seek outside assistance. This has only been bolstered by the recent news that the European Central Bank is cutting interest rates for the first time in 5 years!!! https://lnkd.in/e4dHev_U Our ability to reduce the time to fill on critical roles for our clients has resulted in saving lots of unnecessary costs associated with important positions staying open for many months. Time, effort and costs are all important when finding the right person for your company and rushing that decision or getting it wrong can be incredibly damaging.
