Private equity is circling, AI companies are knocking, and MSOs are reshaping how firms operate. Tim and Mary Ellen will break down what's driving the rush and what it means for you as a firm owner.

The future of your firm deserves more than rumors, headlines, and secondhand opinions.

A Seat at The Table returns in February 2027 to Las Vegas.

One exclusive room. Plaintiff law firm owners sit down with the private equity players, investment bankers, and MSO experts behind the biggest shift the PI industry has ever seen.

This room isn't only for owners fielding offers. It's just as much for the owner with zero plans to sell who refuses to plan their firm's future with half the story. Curiosity is a perfectly good reason to pull up a chair.

We keep the guest list small on purpose. When registration opens, seats will go fast.

Most people follow the crowd. The best leaders notice when the crowd is headed the wrong way.

As a young girl in Iran, Haleh Rabizadeh Resnick marched around her schoolyard chanting with everyone else. Then a friend standing on the sidelines, in tears, made her stop and think.

That moment stayed with her. Today, Haleh is an attorney, author, and keynote speaker. She draws on her American, Iranian, and Jewish roots to challenge the way leaders think.

In our latest In Vista Veritas episode, she joins Heather Carroll and Stephanie Demont to explore what thinking differently looks like inside a law firm:

✅Why sticking with "what's always worked" can quietly stall your firm's growth
✅How small signals of psychological safety unlock big ideas from your team members
✅Why real inclusion means diversity of thought, not just a diverse-looking roster
✅How to trade certainty for curiosity, and why changing your mind isn't a weakness

Bonus: you may never look at a soup ladle the same way again.
