Who from my firm should attend the Vista Law Firm Leadership Summit?
The Vista Law Firm Leadership Summit is open to all law firm leaders, including managing partners, COOs, CEOs, and department directors. It is impactful for both seasoned veterans and emerging leaders. We encourage firm owners to view this as a chance for their own growth as well as an amazing growth opportunity and retention strategy for emerging leaders who can “fast track” their contributions to the firm.
If I’m a current or previous Vista client, should I still come to the Vista Law Firm Leadership Summit?
What qualifications does our speaker lineup have?
Every speaker has significant years of experience and mastery in their respective fields. Attorneys, authors, business owners, seasoned legal industry professionals…ALL of them are consummate business professionals who feel passionately about self-improvement and lifelong learning. Each works closely with businesses across the country and is able to spot trends, concerns, and recommended best practices. We have the ultimate lineup of professionals.

Gaining the expertise to produce and present the Vista Schools event is the result of years of time, experience, and research as well as thousands of dollars planning and producing the event itself. We could go through all the “legalese” regarding copyrights, trademarks, and differing methods of verifying facts. However, we prefer to say that our program, materials, and the price paid is protected even more by your integrity as a person. To copy, record, give away, or lend the videos of this event is not just illegal; it trivializes your investment in it.
By going through our Vista Schools process, you expressly agree to be honest with us regarding your firm’s size and do not record or pass along any captured videos. Video recording of the event will be available to you, and you only, for 30 days after the event. Thank you for your understanding and agreement.
