Learn from the Pricing Experts

Join a cohort of pricing professionals to discuss key challenges and explore leading pricing initiatives being adopted by other professional service firms.

Why you must attend

Pricing in the professions is relatively new and constantly evolving. Clients expect firms to negotiate a good deal, competitors are vying to win your business and partners expect profitable work and long-term relationships. As a pricing professional, you are often busy reacting to the urgent demands but when do you have time to reflect and ask, “could we price better?

What to expect

Positive Pricing’s Roundtable provides a regular one day forum, away from the office, that allows you to discuss, think and plan the best pricing strategies for your firm and learn from a cohort of like-minded pricing professionals.

Who attends this program

Positive Pricing’s Roundtables are designed for Pricing Directors and their teams. They are focused on pricing in the legal profession and are held in Europe and North America. You will join a cohort of like-minded pricing professionals who are grappling with similar challenges.

I have known Stuart for many years and consider him one of only a small handful of ‘true’ legal pricing professionals worldwide. The Legal Pricing Masterclass Stuart and Colin run is a highly practical and engaging 2-day course that covers everything from the basics right through to sophisticated strategic pricing approaches and everything in between, culminating in the individual development of relevant measures that attendees can implement at their organization as soon as they are back in the office.

    The Pricing Masterclass provided practical strategies to help us win work, analyse pricing risks, and promote value internally and externally. It presents all sides of the equation: clients, partners, back office, and more. We immediately capitalised on what we learned. Thanks for a fantastic and interactive workshop.
