The National Association of Minority and Women Owned Law Firms (NAMWOLF)creates a space for members of the diverse legal community to have conversations about the future of the industry.
This year, The MCS Group will be joining NAMWOLF’s 2026 Spring Meeting, and we’ll also be hosting a panel session:
Leveling Up Through Service Provider and Consultant Selection: Identifying the Right Skills in Today’s AI Empowered World
February 28, 2026
2:05 PM – 3:15 PM CT
It’s hard to think of a time when the legal industry has changed this quickly. AI-driven tools are changing how work gets done. New service models are emerging, and legal departments are being asked to make smarter decisions about outside support than ever before. Yes, even fractional leadership is now part of the conversation.
And one thing is becoming very clear: choosing the right service providers and consultants isn’t just an operational task anymore. It’s a strategy decision.
From boutique to AM200 law firms, choosing the right partner matters. The right one strengthens your team. The wrong one adds complications when you can least afford them.
During our session, we’ll dig into the real questions firms should be asking, like:
- What does our team actually need right now?
- Where do vendor relationships tend to break down?
- How do we spot risk early?
- And what does it look like when a provider truly works as part of the legal team?
If you’ll be at NAMWOLF’s Spring Meeting, we’d love to see you there and continue the conversation.
