Furia Rubel Communications has instituted an International Faculty, comprised of 12 global legal industry leaders who have the deep knowledge and insight needed to anticipate emerging risks and take advantage of new opportunities in an ever-evolving market.
Furia Rubel CEO & General Counsel Gina Rubel was quoted in Law360 about the new initiative, crediting Vice President of Strategic Development Jennifer Simpson Carr with identifying a need for special expertise to guide clients in a changing global landscape.
“We started looking at what are some of the hot-button issues that both law firms and their clients are facing, and realized there was this great opportunity to bring together these people who have worked all over the world, who have perspectives and diversity and different experiences,” Rubel said.
Carr noted the increasing trend of mergers in the legal market was another factor in developing the group. “You have instances where there’s new competition that looks different than it did even a couple of days ago,” she said. “And firms, as they merge, are looking to experts to provide support on what that new firm looks like. How can they seamlessly integrate their services and their business professionals in a way that will really help them take advantage of the merger and position themselves in the market even stronger than they were before?”
Rubel highlighted the International Faculty’s deep bench of talent. “Years ago, when I started the company, one of my goals was to work with the smartest business minds in the industry,” she said. “And t was a dream of mine to be able to bring these brilliant minds together.”
